Wall street is the traditional playground of the Republican party.
If you diss them, you diss your party. Wall Street is the heart and soul of the Republican Party.
Wall Street tax policy and social wellness policy is purely Republican, in other words they are greedy and selfish and uncaring, but even these most hard nosed money managers know that the economy ALWAYS does better under Democrats, especially after Republicans have tanked it yet again. So if the priority is to get the economy back on track, don't be surprised if some of them support a Democrat once in a while.
Once the economy has grown and is stable, they take it for granted and revert to type.
Could of fooled me. Most of Wallstreet is old money and most of that old money is democrat. ...
You are deceiving yourself.
I have to wonder if you believe it simply because you want that to be true and therefore made it up, or if someone told you this and you fell for it.
Her angst of because Trump has made her make decisions that will contribute to her costing herself her job…and the voters obviously don’t have any use for her…but at least she’s tough.

Indeed.
It was never about her policy positions or her voting record. It was never because she was 'really a Democrat' or any such nonsense. The "... voters obviously don’t have any use for her" not because of her stance on tax policy, defense spending, '2nd Amendment' position or any other hot button Republican issue. She is 100% party line, one of the most reliable.
It's because she is too honest to go along with the big lie. Simple as that. The party will purge her. She is toast and the reputation of the party is sealed.

Reason: spelling and grammar
3 Terrible SCOTUS Picks...Trump screwed this country for decades w/ this Judges that want to take American backwards....terrible man
You mean 3 judges that don't make laws on the bench and respects the 10 amendment and the power of the people to decide by democratic process? Yeah, horrible.
Your post supports my point precisely. Trump and the Republicans lost the confidence of America's money men, small wonder
The business community turns to Democrats after the Republicans run the economy into the ground and blow out the deficit. They know that with Democrats in control comes a strong money-making economy.
Later, after the economy rebounds and they can relax, they go back to their old nasty ways of supporting Republicans and:
• attacking Social Security & Medicare
• privatizing schools & prisons
• opposing clean air, clean water, safe food and safe working condition legislation
• attacking labor unions and opposing raising the minimum wage
• .. and of course, opposing any sort of national healthcare and/or mental health program
Straight Republican attacks on ordinary folks. It's in their blood.
is that what you keep telling yourself? to lie over and over. I can't wait for the midterms elections and Democrats get a BBQ pounding.

Because it's b.s. You worship big government and that the lives of Americans have to depend by force on big government to succeed. You want the government to manage every part of your life and everybody by force from birth 'til death. How does that equates to that I don't care about the issues you listed if I don't agree with your solutions or methods? You are confused.
Republicans:
• attack Social Security & Medicare
• privatize schools & prisons ... always looking for a way to take over the public's assets for themselves
• oppose clean air, clean water, safe food and safe working condition legislation ... try to cripple the EPA
• oppose consumer financial protection
• attack labor unions and oppose raising the minimum wage
• oppose any sort of national healthcare and/or mental health program
The latest travesty was opposing a bill to help veterans exposed to toxins during service. Every vote against that bill in the house was a Republican, 174 of them. This is not unique to this one issue, it is typical.
The Republican party is the enemy of working people. If they have their way this country would be a dystopian nightmare.
Liz Cheney is no better, she is fully on board with essential Republican nastiness.
Nope, We are a private sector economy and there should be more options for retirement and healthcare so the taxpayers have full control of their accounts and money.

You mean give access to the taxpayers to use their money on school choice over failed public school systems? Yeah horrible!
So public prisons are better run than private? LOL Are you an expert in prisons. Even for prisons you want big government.

Biden has done that since 1973 and he is a Democrat. You Democrats lost all credibility here.

there are 14 million union members making it 11% of the entire workforce. Not important to the economy. You have good unions but most are not worth it.
Only 1.5 percent of all hourly paid workers make min. wage. Is not the crisis Democrats make it to be for politics. Minimum wage workers tend to be young. Although workers under age 25 represented just under one-fifth of hourly paid workers, they made up 48 percent of those paid the federal minimum wage or less. Among employed teenagers (ages 16 to 19) paid by the hour, about 5 percent earned the minimum wage or less, compared with 1 percent of workers age 25 and older.
Raising the min. wage by force by the government just raises the cost of living for everybody and raises unemployment for the youth. These is how clueless and liars Democrats are when it's only 1.5% of all hourly paid workers in the nation and most of them are ages 16 to 19. What good you are doing for 16 to 19 in raising the min. wage when you raise their cost of living and cut their hours or make the job demand less?

Why would you want the government to take over the entire private sector economy? That's dumb.
You don't ask me to answer your softball questions because the stats backs me up. You asked 3 times and now you should know better.

Actually the number has always been higher. I just said 90% as a generalized number.
She voted with Trump 93 % of the time.
I have to admire her for her bravery, she had to know how wacky the base has been since Trump, and that she would probably lose the election. But she showed extraordinary bravery to stand for what she believes in, and all to do the right thing. She put her country and the Constitution above even her own party, in order to stand for truth and seek out justice.
Which is a lot more than what I can say for many of the others.
Mitch McConnell about Jan 6th:
What she believes in is why the Republican Party was taken over by the Tea Party movement, why Trump was elected president in 2016 and why Donald Trump is the head of the Republican Party today.
In fact, it's nearly impossible for a Republican to win a national office without Trump's endorsement.
Republican voters got sick of having to choose between one Republican corporate ***** and another Republican corporate *****.
