What fools these Wall Street people are! Apparently, they don't really understand why Trump and Sanders are in first place so in this article they actually name the candidates they're throwing money at plus announce they're going to meet with Kasich, who used to be with Lehman Brothers (7 years), thus giving him the kiss of death, too. What do they think will happen to Trump's poll numbers when people read (or Trump tells them) the guys on Wall Street don't know any of their kind supporting Trump? I think it's good for 10 more points in the polls.
Really is a very interesting article:
"I don't know anyone who is a Donald Trump supporter. I don’t know anyone who knows anyone who is a Donald Trump supporter. They are like this huge mystery group,” the CEO said. "So it's a combination of shock and bewilderment. No one really knows why this is happening. But my own belief is that the laws of gravity will apply and those who are prepared to run the marathon will benefit when Trump drops out at mile 22. Right now people think Trump is pretty hilarious but the longer it goes on the more frightening it gets." The latest frightening broadside for the Wall Street class came on Sunday when Trump said on CBS’s “Face the Nation” that executive pay in America is “a complete joke” and promised to raise taxes on “the hedge fund guys.”

Good article. I'm glad you quoted the "I don't know anyone" statement by the Wall Street CEO. Chances are, said CEO spends his or her time with fellow CEO's or other top corporate officials ('birds of a feather..."). His or her only contact with the 'lower class' would be getting his hair cut, or ordering another stiff Brandy ("Where is that slothful waiter! I ordered that brandy three minutes ago! This country is going to H in a hand basket!").

They call Trump supporters a "huge mystery group" which in effect, is saying what we've been saying about them for decades --- they have no idea what goes on in the rest of the country outside of the NYC - DC corridor.
I find it very interesting that this is happening on both sides in the same election cycle.
It show that the voters are sick and tired of the same old bought and paid for politicians.
Wall Street placed their bets on Jeb/Hillary early and assumed it would be business as usual.
At first they probably got a good laugh when Trump and Bernie announced.
But after months of steadily improving poll numbers for both Bernie and Trump it will be fun to watch
Wall Street, the DNC and the RNC sweat.
Wouldn't it be great if the voters actually got to decide?

From having worked on Wall St for many years I'm always amused and amazed how the left always identifies Wall Street with the GOP. The trading floors lean to the right, where the traders bump heads and grind through the day, but where it counts, in the offices of Goldman and all the big hedge funds, where the money flows are controlled, they're all proud Democrats and huge contributors to the Democratic Party.
You bet they don't like Trump. He's been beating them at their game for years. He's too big to ignore and to smart to screw around with.

It serves them right. When Wall Street and Big Business threw in their lot with Obama, they lost whatever footing they had in the Republican base. There really are three political parties today. Trump is suing the machinery of the Republican party but he is his own animal. Rush said yesterday that nobody is voting for Trump because they think he is a conservative. That’s why attacks calling him not a conservative has not worked.
