Wall Street Democratic donors warn the party: We’ll sit out, or back Trump, if you nominate Elizabeth Warren

Democratic donors on Wall Street and in big business are preparing to sit out the presidential campaign fundraising cycle — or even back President Donald Trump — if Sen. Elizabeth Warren wins the party’s nomination.

In recent weeks, CNBC spoke to several high-dollar Democratic donors and fundraisers in the business community and found that this opinion was becoming widely shared as Warren, an outspoken critic of big banks and corporations, gains momentum against Joe Biden in the 2020 race.

“You’re in a box because you’re a Democrat and you’re thinking, ‘I want to help the party, but she’s going to hurt me, so I’m going to help President Trump,’” said a senior private equity executive, who spoke on condition of anonymity in fear of retribution by party leaders. The executive said this Wednesday, a day after Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that the House would begin a formal impeachment inquiry into Trump.

Wall Street Democrats???

Money talks and bullshit walks. Limousine liberals listen to their brokers.

Wall Street Democrats???

They're the ones who'd rather have Trump for another four years than see any of the lovely tax breaks he's given them disappear. She's no dummy, and will happily make hay from this. Probably about balances out, or perhaps helps her more than it harms her.

She wouldn't be the first Democrat to do so. As FDR put it:

We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace—business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering.

They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob.

Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me—and I welcome their hatred.

Wall Street Democrats???

According to Peacock, Warren is a centrist. Like Clinton and Blair. Wall St Democrats should love her.

[Joe]

Well, like Lak says, money speaks louder than ideology in some circles.

[Brian Peacock]

Nah, Warren is a liberal, like you.

[JimC]

rEv is a liberal with Trotskyite tendencies...

[pErvinalia]

I think according to Brian's schema I'm a far right fascist.

[Brian Peacock]

Nah, that's another misrepresentation, but if you're not a socialist you're most likely a supporter of capitalism, to some degree - particularly if you're trying to get everyone to adopt your made up currency.

[Tero]

Tax the rich! No socialism past that required. Also, an inheritance tax. 1% for me, 15% for Trump.

[pErvinalia]

Nah, that's another misrepresentation, but if you're not a socialist you're most likely a supporter of capitalism

I.e. a centrist at leftmost, according to your crackers ideas..
