WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY

 Win-Loss Rundown:

IT'S AMAZING HOW DUMB SOME OF THESE FAT CATS ARE.  RATHER THAN THROWING MONEY AT POLITICAL CLOWNS THEY SHOULD CONSIDER PUTTING SOME OF IT BACK INTO THE COUNTRY ( AND THE PEOPLE) THAT ALLOWED THEM TO MAKE IT.

Tuesday marked the first presidential election under the new campaign finance regime installed following the 2010 Citizens United U.S. Supreme Court decision. The ruling paved the way for super PACs and nonprofits, allowing them to accept unlimited contributions from individuals, corporations and unions, which could be spent on advertising backing or opposing candidates.
