Papantonio: Why Republican Voters Hate Their Candidates
Opinion polls and voter turnout numbers are telling us that Republicans are very unhappy with their nominees for president. But, thanks to the Citizens United Supreme Court decision, voters are now at the mercy of corporations with unlimited cash – And it’s corporate America that handpicked the pathetic crop of GOP presidential hopefuls. And it’s clear from the apathy coming out of the Republican Party that these mega corporations might not see a return on their investment. Mike Papantonio talks about how the wealthiest 1 percent loaded the ticket with presidential nominees that voters hate with Alternet senior editor Josh Holland.
