I think, when you see kind of dysfunction among the Democrats of the Republicans, it impacts the whole country: the way we feel about each other, our ability to speak as one.

The teachers' unions that block school reform have done serious damage to the union brand. The public no longer views unions as their friend, much less their champion.
