Jeb Bush line about whether you want to help kids or unions

I don't remember how he worded it.

First, of course, false dichotomy. It is certainly possible to do both.

But second, whom does he think is in unions? A lot of union workers are parents with kids!!! Feeding them, housing them, clothing them, all that stuff. Helping union workers helps families, which means it helps kids.

that a moron could comprehend it.....unless that moron happens to be a Repug.

I was a child of a union millworker. I can testify that helping union workers absolutely helps kids. Actually, in the end, what else does help kids besides a decent wage for the parents?
