Re: 2016 Election
As I said when I
updated my previous post....Clintons speech must not have been wha Wall Street wanted to hear. Wall was throwing money away..just not so much to her..
" In fact, despite lagging in the polls, performing poorly in debates and being nowhere near as sure a bet as Clinton is for his party’s nomination, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) has so far taken more than five times as much Wall Street money as Clinton into his campaign and super-PAC.
Bush has already raised more than $30 million from Wall Street, according to an analysis of the latest Federal Election Commission data by the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics done for The Hill, which looked at donations from a range of firms in the commercial banking, securities, and investments industries.
Clinton, on the other hand, has received just $5.9 million from Wall Street into her campaign and super-PAC, less than half of that raised by Tea Party conservative Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), who received $12.5 million, most of which came from hedge fund magnate Robert Mercer.
Clinton has raised only slightly more financial sector money than struggling Republican candidate Gov. Chris Christie (R-N.J.), who has taken in $5.2 million.
Wall Street donors began moving away from Democrats during Obama’s first term. After charming hedge fund managers and investment bankers during his campaign of “hope and change,” Obama, once in office, quickly angered these same supporters when he passed the Dodd-Frank regulations on the financial industry.

Re: 2016 Election
Right, sure. If Clinton picks Warren as VP, then I'll start to believe this.

Warren will not be VP. She will be much more valuable in the Senate pushing through changes to the financial industry.

It looks like it came from here:
http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign...reet-donations
This was written back in October last year, so I don't know how relevant it is now considering Hillary has over $32M so far from the "Securities & Investment" industry in the 2016 cycle alone.

Re: 2016 Election
Agreed. Bernie has always said even if he was President he couldn't do this by himself. Change takes time and effort.

I've just watched about 20 minutes of a Trump rally. He has said nothing at all that doesn't directly relate to his own greatness. He's a raving (and ranting) lunatic.

Re: 2016 Election
Corker and Ernst don't want to be considered for VP. They're both pretty close to the bottom of the barrel and they don't want anything to do with Trump. He'll probably go for Newton Leroy. All I'm saying is that between Gingrich and Christie, Trump better hire a food taster.

Re: 2016 Election
In relation to the posts made today - not all of the Bernie supporters will come around but most will. Insulting and antagonizing them is pointless.
If Clinton had won the nomination in 2008, I can't say for sure that I would have voted for her. Obama was my candidate and I felt very strongly (and was very idealistic) about the prospect of his presidency. I don't know exactly how Bernie's people feel but I think I have some idea because I was similarly caught up in the Obama phenomena. Fortunately, things worked out for my candidate. If things hadn't worked out, I don't know if anybody could have reasoned me out of that mindset but they sure as hell could not have bullied or insulted me into voting for Hillary. I wasn't a millennial or a hipster either, I was a fortyish white lady living in a red state.
