HEY, BIG SPENDER: Big Labor Unions Step Up Presidential-Election Spending.

According to the most recent campaign-finance filings, unions spent nearly $110 million on the elections from January 2015 through the end of August, a 38% jump from $78 million at the same point in the 2012 election, and nearly double their 2008 total during the same period.

Almost every large union is spending more than ever before seen in modern elections. The AFL-CIO has spent $11.4 million funding outside political groups thus far, up from $5 million at this point in the 2012 election, according to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics. The National Education Association has spent $14 million, up from $7.7 million.

The unions’ efforts to support Mrs. Clinton are particularly crucial as polling shows white working-class voters—who often belong to labor unions—are drawn to Republican Donald Trump’s campaign message.

Clinton needs the help because she’s a terrible candidate, who in the primaries was able to beat an aging and unknown Vermont socialist only by cheating.
