A message to Hillary supporters: Wall Street and corporations believe that Hillary has their backs

[cali]

And Hillary supporters really can't handle that fact.

Wall Streeters believe that Hillary will protect their interests.

<snip>

But here’s the strange thing: Down on Wall Street they don’t believe it for a minute. While the finance industry does genuinely hate Warren, the big bankers love Clinton, and by and large they badly want her to be president. Many of the rich and powerful in the financial industry—among them, Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein, Morgan Stanley CEO James Gorman, Tom Nides, a powerful vice chairman at Morgan Stanley, and the heads of JPMorganChase and Bank of America—consider Clinton a pragmatic problem-solver not prone to populist rhetoric. To them, she’s someone who gets the idea that we all benefit if Wall Street and American business thrive. What about her forays into fiery rhetoric? They dismiss it quickly as political maneuvers. None of them think she really means her populism.

1. Gee, ya think?

[passiveporcupine]

38. Yep, they know her personally and probably

consider her a friend. And friends take care of friends in politics.

[libdem4life]

2. Of course not, they know a Dog Whistle when they hear one...Cut It Out...confirming my next speech

for________ at the agreed upon price of $_________?

This is not rocket science...even for the Peasant Class. I refuse to call it the Middle Class because it does not exist. And I call the 1% Oligarchs...because if the shoe fits...etc. One cannot have one without the other.

I believe this is Gold Sacks CEO Lloyd Blankfein.

[lewebley3]

20. So you were in a conference call with Wall St banks: WOW

what Sanders nonsene

[questionseverything]

26. cut it out !

[lewebley3]

then what you actually know or have been a witness: If you don't
have facts.

36. Hillary is her own person: She cannnot be bought: if she could the GOP

would have tried it.

[Old Codger]

44. Wow

Just plain fucking WOW....

[JRLeft]

51. The poster is a fan, not a voter. That poster doesn't give a shit about her corrupt backing.

[Old Codger]

70. Obvioulsy

Has no idea of much of anything that exists in the real world, maybe when he gets out of puberty he will wake up

mean time his circle of willis is pretty much packed with feces

[JRLeft]

71. It's damn near on a cult level.

[lewebley3]

83. Liberal are supposed to able think without vulgarisms

that is what GOP people are limited to;

[questionseverything]

47. supports fracking,supports welfare cuts,supports endless war

supports ending public schools and giving the cash to charter schools

takes millions from the big banks and wallstreet

cut

it

out


!!!!!!!

[lewebley3]

82. Those are your single issues: Dem don't run on single issues:

They, run like Hillary does as a Dem, working out problems
together as team with the Dem party values.

Single issues divide the party and that is only way the Dem's
can lose is if they are divided.

Hillary has more than proved she is a loyal Dem: she
will sign anything the Dem's can get the votes for to
help improve American lives.

I practical politician is much nice than an ideologue: they
can get things done like Hillary: not just talk: Sanders has done
nothing but talk.

[questionseverything]

88. those were 5 "single issues"

lord knows there are many more like her support of the private for profit prison industry

or her support for insurance companies rather than supporting healthcare for all americans

but i do appreciate the bumps!!!

[Old Codger]

69. LOL n/t

[Katashi_itto]

78. Whoa!

[Uncle Joe]

3. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, cali.

[el_bryanto]

4. They have put their money where their mouth is too

I can understand Hillary supporters believe that she is a better candidate and more likely to win, or that she is better or at least equivalent on social issues. I find it very hard to believe that any of her supporters believe that she will do much of anything about Wall Street.

Bryant

[Ed Suspicious]

15. A vocal Clinton backer on this site has a wife who is a Wall Street lawyer. They really are just

protecting their own interests.

[lewebley3]

21. Everyone protects their interest : Surprise: Sanders people don't

live in the real world: Sanders people are the only Sainted people in
politics.

They forget Sanders has been protecting his interest by protecting
the gun lobby for years, because they were paying Sanders bills.

[Armstead]

65. bullshit

Sanders,supporters,are motivated by self interest. They believe his reforms will make their lives better..along with everyone else"s.....

(Maybe not the wealthy, but they'll continue to be fine too. They might have to learn to live on a mere $10 million a year instead of $15 million...Or a paltry $100 million instead of $200 million...Or in the case of the robber barons like the Waltons have to split $80 billion instead of $150 billion)

[lewebley3]

86. That is true from any political supporters perspective: not

just Sanders people. You post is a moot point

[eridani]

76. Which is why they give him a D- rating and campaigned against him n/t

[lewebley3]

85. Whatever rating they give him is protecting the people

that have been paying his bills: Just like
any other politician.

Sanders is not sainted when is comes to being
a politician: he just comes from a small state
were are fewer lobby interest: and given
that their only 600,000 people in the whole state
that makes sense.

He could have been elected in New York where
millions of interest come together across the
nation.

Hillary did a good job reping for most of New Yorkers
best interest.

[questionseverything]

89. just like hc is protecting the bankers,wallstreet and 1%ers that pay her bills

which backs up cali's op

[Vincardog]

5. What they can't stomach is the fact that they have a bought and paid for candidate. I voted for O

Obama because I thought HRC was the worse choice.
Obama wants to pass TPP.
How much worse could it be?
Vote for HRC and see.

[lewebley3]

22. Because Obama and HIllary are not bought: that is a Sanders political attack

[Old Codger]

79. Really

Pretty pathetic there, I kept reading your BS for the amusement factor but has gotten beyond amusing and has become pathetic and asinine.... off to the ignore list with ya

[lewebley3]

80. Yes it is just a Sanders political attack:

[Ino]

25. As disappointing as Obama has been on many issues...

I've never had any doubt whatsoever that Hillary would have been much much worse. I'm even more convinced of that now!

[lewebley3]

37. We real Dem's a proud of Obama and Dem party

[GoneOffShore]

43. Ah, so anyone supporting Bernie Sanders isn't a 'real Dem'.

I see.

The 'No True Scotsman' fallacy is your fallback when all else fails.

[Old Codger]

45. Well

If you use Hill-ary as the base line then we may not be 'true" Dems based on their model, from my viewpoint the are actually using a Dino for the model, at best as far right as you can get and still pretend to be a dem.

[GoneOffShore]

50. There is that.

And it seems that in the last 5 or 6 years DU has attracted a lot of that ilk.

[lewebley3]

58. They are not supporting a Democrat

[GoneOffShore]

61. I see. Loyalty oath time, I guess.

Well then, Sunny Boy Slim, this yellow dog Democrat, who has never pulled the lever for a Republican isn't a "Real Democrat" to you.

Interesting.

Or are you only here to stir things up?

You're not really contributing much otherwise except for calling anyone who doesn't agree with you 'not a real Democrat'.

[lewebley3]

62. No takes a loyalty oath to be Dem: the prove it by working hard for other Dem's

[arcane1]

48. Once you go down the absurd "real Dems" road, you have admitted defeat.

What's next, a loyalty oath?

[lewebley3]

57. No I not: Loyal Dem support other Dem's: No oath is needed

Something none Dem would understand

[lewebley3]

87. Not absurd: when you have rasied money and knock on doors

to help Dem's work for the American people's interest, then you know the
real party people work hard for their country during all
elections, they don't sit out election ever.

[Ferd Berfel]

55. 'Real Dems' like NAFTA, WTO and T P P etc?

These programs are much farther right than Dem.

[lewebley3]

56. Some do some don't: Real Dem's are not single issue voters; that would

self centered:

[Iggo]

64. Pass the haggis.

[CharlotteVale]

6. She's always been on their side and always will be.

[Ichingcarpenter]

7. Hillary Clinton Quote:

“For goodness’ sake, you can’t be a lawyer if you don’t represent banks.”


The attorney was Hillary Clinton. She made the statement to journalists during her husband’s first campaign for president. Her legal representation of a shady savings and loan bank while working at a top corporate law firm in Arkansas (and her firm’s relations with then-governor Bill Clinton) had erupted briefly into a campaign controversy.

http://www.alternet.org/tea-party-and-right/hillarys-candid-motto-democratic-party-represent-banks

[lewebley3]

23. We know Hillary history she and Bill came from state that was very tuff

on crime: You just speculate things you know nothing about.

In-fact Its the Sander people complaining about to much jailing of
criminals by The Clinton Administration.

The Clinton's were law and order people to the best of
their ability.


That is matter of record with the justice Dept

[questionseverything]

30. yes the clintons are tough on crime when it comes to the 99%

not so much with the 1%

[lewebley3]

34. You don't remember the Saves and loan Scandal:

The Clinton's did put people in jail, with Reagan's help over 2000)
they created enemies in Arkansas that created the
false political White water attacks on the Clinton's.

You need to do some homework: Clinton's career didn't
start the day Sanders announced for President.

[questionseverything]

[lewebley3]

60. Clinton as we know was in the middle of as a Governor

The Koch began to real enemies to the Clinton's: because
the Koch's believed that Clinton's has turned on the 1%
like FDR did.

You just don't know history

[arcane1]

49. "You just speculate things you know nothing about."

Irony is dead

[lewebley3]

59. Clinton's have a record: Janet Renos history has been recorded: No speculation

[antigop]

9. Lloyd Blankfein: "I held fundraisers for her." (HRC) nt

[antigop]

10. Hillary can't handle that fact. Remember how she became unglued during the debate? nt

[senz]

11. Hillary has Wall Street's back. Bernie has OUR back.

That's the choice in a nutshell.

[Punkingal]

12. Of course they believe she has their back...because she does.

[tecelote]

13. Pretty soon we'll start to see Wall Street "hate" Hillary.

[EndElectoral]

14. I'm pretty sure most realize by now she'd be quite friendly to her friends on Wall Street.

Or minimally - look away.

[CoffeeCat]

16. Hillary has their backs and their fronts!

And they reward her handsomely for her loyalty and effort:

28. +100

[arcane1]

52. As I've said before: they'd rather have a republican in the White House than have Sanders.

Says a lot about our "front-runner"!

[ejbr]

17. At least they

and Bernie CAN agree on something: Hillary has their back. He hasn't been as explicit as they, but we got the message.

[Douglas Carpenter]

18. knr

[Maedhros]

19. There is no escaping the cold, hard fact that by helping Clinton win,

her supporters are also helping Wall Street win.

[SoapBox]

24. Thrive? Thrive?!

There is one thing to be successful and profitable...but these blood sucking fuckers want to drain every person dry, so that they can line their own personal pockets with the loot.

Fuck them...we need Bernie to begin the break ups and reign in these filthy fuckers.

[seaglass]

27. I'm wondering if American Express would be included in this group. I worked for AmEx for a number

of years and think they are a great company to work for. Salary, benefits, profit sharing, diversity, opportunities were all awesome. I work for a small company now and they suck.

I would hope that no presidential candidate is looking to destroy AmEx. I bet a lot of employees who work for large companies are pretty happy with the same type of salary, benefits, opportunities I received. Not sure how onboard I am with people's livelihoods being destroyed.

[Android3.14]

31. Her supporters either lack ethics or information

The folks from Camp Weathervane simply cannot respond effectively to this sort of criticism, as to do so would expose either their ignorance or their lack of humane ethics.

[Hoyt]

33. I like the way Clinton cons them into believing she's on their side as she takes their

money to beat the GOP, and prepares legislation that will actually restrict them. I guess she could wave her arms around, and rant about beating up wall street, but I like actually doing something about their excesses.

[cali]

39. Lol.

[Hoyt]

41. I think post # 40 is closer to reality, no matter how much you dislike the truth.

[kenfrequed]

35. Not a threat

Wallstreet sees these minor little reforms as both nonthreatening or minor and easily dodged.

This isn't financial reform it is sophistry.

[pnwmom]

40. STORY IS FROM 2014. The claims have proven INCORRECT

according to the liberal economist Paul Krugman, in his article in October, 2015.

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/10/16/opinion/democrats-republicans-and-wall-street-tycoons.html

For what it’s worth, Mrs. Clinton had the better case. Mr. Sanders has been focused on restoring Glass-Steagall, the rule that separated deposit-taking banks from riskier wheeling and dealing. And repealing Glass-Steagall was indeed a mistake. But it’s not what caused the financial crisis, which arose instead from “shadow banks” like Lehman Brothers, which don’t take deposits but can nonetheless wreak havoc when they fail. Mrs. Clinton has laid out a plan to rein in shadow banks; so far, Mr. Sanders hasn’t.

SNIP

While this is good news for taxpayers and the economy, financiers bitterly resent any constraints on their ability to gamble with other people’s money, and they are voting with their checkbooks. Financial tycoons loom large among the tiny group of wealthy families that is dominating campaign finance this election cycle — a group that overwhelmingly supports Republicans. Hedge funds used to give the majority of their contributions to Democrats, but since 2010 they have flipped almost totally to the G.O.P.

As I said, this lopsided giving is an indication that Wall Street insiders take Democratic pledges to crack down on bankers’ excesses seriously. And it also means that a victorious Democrat wouldn’t owe much to the financial industry.

If a Democrat does win, does it matter much which one it is? Probably not. Any Democrat is likely to retain the financial reforms of 2010, and seek to stiffen them where possible. But major new reforms will be blocked until and unless Democrats regain control of both houses of Congress, which isn’t likely to happen for a long time.

In other words, while there are some differences in financial policy between Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Sanders, as a practical matter they’re trivial compared with the yawning gulf with Republicans.

[cali]

42. Lol.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

53. Why wouldn't they? They're capitalists and expect a return on their investment.

[Ferd Berfel]

54. ...and why I can't vote for her..... SHE HAS THEIR BACKS, NOT MINE

she remains A Goldwater Girl

75. Recent headline: the south is ready to save Hillary.

Which translates as: the north will refuse her. They are lowering expectations every day, just so the disappointment won't create a reverse snowball effect for her numbers elsewhere.
