Liberals Who Work On Wall Street Warn Democrats They’ll Support Trump If Socialist Elizabeth Warren Is The Nominee

There are apparently some Democrats who work on Wall Street who are not happy about the idea of Elizabeth Warren becoming the 2020 nominee.

In fact, they’re saying that if Warren is the nominee, they will support Trump.

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.

Influential Investor: If Elizabeth Warren Becomes President, They May Not Even Bother Opening The Stock Market

Elizabeth Warren would be a horrible president for the economy and people in business know this.

One well known investor recently said that if she won, the stock market wouldn’t even open. Grin

Billionaire investor on Elizabeth Warren as president: Market might not even open

That’s Leon Cooperman, the billionaire boss at Omega Advisors, joking to a crowd at the Delivering Alpha conference in New York this week about what a win for the left could ultimately mean for investors.

He wasn’t joking, however, in his belief that somebody like Elizabeth Warren in the White House would be disastrous for the stock market.

“The Democratic Party seems to be leaning towards the left on policies, which is very harmful for the economy. I don’t like the shift to the left,” he explained to CNBC, adding that the market, of course, will open, but it won’t be pretty.

“It would be a bear market and they go on for a year and go down 25%,” he said. “You don’t make the poor people rich by making rich people poor.”…

“Her policies are counterproductive,” Cooperman said. “They’re negative for capitalism, and capitalism is what brought America into the position we’re in today.”

In the USA there is no such thing as a political left. The Democrats are possibly to the right of the Australian Liberal party. They just look to be left because the Republicans are so far to the right.

Joe actually admitted it.

Yet ducky boy says thats wrong - hes innocent!

Joe cannot take foreign money directly but his son Biden can and this is what happened. This explains why Joe is so wealthy. What was the 1.5 billion payment from the Chinese for? Notice the media ignores that question.

Joe is another Washington establishment corruptocrat!

These corruptocrats want Trump out before they're drained.

Wow!

So called left wing systems all eventually fail because they're based on lies and self delusion. A free market system works but needs honest government and media to keep powerful forces from monopolizing markets.

Ducky, you owe your present standard of living to the free market system - so have some gratitude.

During prosperous times there is optimism and full employment, a product of a so called right wing government. In times chaos, poverty and unemployment the so called left exploit the misery. Which causes more misery - a negative feedback until the people wake up to the lies and get back on track.

America is getting back on track with Trump but some prefer the misery. Eh Ducky?.

Yes but its not called communism.

What corporation gets the majority of what you earn? None! But government does and operates much like a large corporation except that it has more power.

And able to convince people like Ducky that its totally benevolent and wants to help you - how sweet!

Sweet dreams Ducky!

Incorrect

All of the potential democrat candidates stood on the podium
Lectured the American public in Spanish
Spoke about free universal healthcare for illegals
Spoke about the importance of getting rid of a wall

to say that this position is to the right of the Australian liberal party is ridiculous

To say that this position is to the right of the Australian Labour party is ridiculous

Would Anthony Albanyese call for the removal of all border security talk to the electorate in Sri lankan or Indonesian or call for universal health care for anyone who wants to come to the country

which is where the real communist power resides.

No, dear, you can't. Comparing Australian and American politics is a mug's game. They don't have the semblance of the welfare state we have.

And I'm not sure what you mean by a wall. Mr Trump is yet to start work on one.

Cometh the hour, dear.
