But then again, who other than a psychopath would believe in the depraved GOP platform enough to run as its candidate?

These candidates have problems with their resumes for the job of President. CNBC gave them a chance to clarify or explain the problems. Most refused to answer or lied. Rubio in particular just cried about coming from poor immigrant parents, which is not an excuse for refusing to does his Senate job, while collecting a pay check and benefits. Rubio is a joke when he claims he'll correct waste yet collects a check for refusing to do his job.

It was an ugly scene but, CNBC provided a public service of showing how flawed these candidates are.

Nice how the bipartisan report includes both sides. Why they used Shkreli's head shot next to Borowitz's name is anyone's guess.
