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.

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's the way to do it. But this kind of change is going to probably take two more election cycles. America just doesn't shift from centre-right to centre-left overnight, especially if the will isn't there in the majority.

I've just listened to the buffoon drop whopper after whopper. They're both liars. The better question is do you want the lying lawyer or the lying lunatic.

I agree. I just find it insulting that because young people still have ideals, they're idiots.

I'm not saying you think that BTW, but it seems that others do.

For a moment I thought Newton Leroy was some new kid on the block ready to sweep in and lock up the African American vote. I need more sleep.
