It's called Republicanism. The "business party" figured out long ago that they can sell a lot of stuff with nothing more than advertising so that became their focus. The reality TV hoax "pResident" is a logical result of decades of training the public to accept that "image isn't everything--it's the only thing." And a party of one percenters can buy a lot of advertising with their tax cuts!!!!
