The New Face Of Big Money Politics (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

A GOP debate last night, and we will look at it. Immigration The economy. What it means to be a conservative. To be Ben Carson. But there’s more going on than what’s on the stage. It’s what’s in the bank. In campaign coffers and super PACs. Millions. Hundreds of millions. Money is not everything this time out. Bernie Sanders does not have a super PAC. Neither does Trump. Of course, he’s a billionaire. Jeb Bush has a heap of dough and he’s trailing. And yet money keeps talking, and in new ways. This hour On Point, a check-up on money and super PACs in the 2016 campaign. — Tom Ashbrook
