The answer to that is simple. They won't, no matter how much big business spends to buy politicians. Eventually, the people will realise politicians who only think of themselves won't be able to win enough seats.
Trump is winning because he's saying no more wars, migrants, Chinese Imports, etc. If he can tag on Healthcare, better education and more jobs. He will win. Then his problem will be all the others trying to stop him.
Obama won on a message of hope for the lower earning sector. What's the message of hope from Rubio and Cruz. That's believable by this 45%?

I don't agree, right-wing politicians tend to be "pro-business"... meaning, they are for creating conditions conducive for business, for thriving economy, etc... many find that position appealing... certainly more appealing than what democrats are proposing... what are left-wing candidates proposing to help the economy?
increase taxes? increase minimum wage? increase business regulation? even someone with most basic understanding of economics will realize that all these make it harder and more expensive to hire people = MORE people unemployed...
