Ohioans Ready To Send Governor Kucinich And His Union Busting Packing

Remember the more than 1.3 million signatures by citizens from the state of Ohio to place a referendum on the upcoming November ballot to recall/overturn Governor John Kasich's (R) and the Republican Party's new Senate Bill 5 which they rammed through and approved to bust up unions in the Buckeye state? Well, over 900,000 of those signatures have been verfied as good to go, and the signatories only needed about 250,000 to get referendum on the ballot. So Ohio voters will now have a chance to repeal Senate Bill 5 this coming November.

All of this is bad news, really bad news, for John Kasich and the Republican Party of Ohio.

Rachel Maddow looks at just how unpopular Senate Bill 5 is with Ohio voters, and she looks over how this unpopularity is playing out in the polls against Kasich - who is now the 2nd most unpopular Governor in the USA.

Maddow interviews Ohio State Rep Armond Budish (D) who told Maddow Thursday Night, "As people learn more and more about what this union stripping bill does, they get more and more angry. Senate Bill 5 is about not letting people come together and bargain for fair wages, or for safe places to work. When people find out what this bill really does, they hate it.”

Bill Maher Wonders Why Refugees From The Middle Class Keep Voting Republican

Maher: "Every election, roughly half the population votes Democrat, the other half votes Republican. I understand why Republicans get 1% of the vote . . . the richest 1%. That other 49% (of Americans) someone will just have to explain to me. The facts about what the Republicans have done to the Middle Class are beyond reasonable doubt. And yet their base refuses to see it. The moneyed elite of America are dragging a bag filled with your future down the steps and your reaction is, "Hold on there, that looks heavy, let me give you a hand getting that into your trunk.""
