The Incoherent Nihilism of Republicans in Congress and on the Debate Stage

from Beyond Politics · host Matt Robison

Republicans angling to shut down the US Government and preparing to take the debate stage tonight for the Republican Presidential nomination have one thing in common: they can't say what it is they are trying to achieve, what they believe in, or how they would help do anything positive for America. They've made a backward mess of immigration (11:01) and they're afraid to attack Donald Trump (14:31) even though they secretly know he's a plague. And yet, recent polling (21:10) has some ominous signs for America and shows that voters may be tuning out their shenanigans. At least the writer's strike is over! (29:15)
