Wait, the Trumpenproletariat is backing Wall Street again? I thought you were all "Main street over Wall street"? Do you guys get a newsletter or something?

LOL on the bold - you do realize that Trump is the biggest liar around right....? I think they'd support her one lie over his tens of thousands of lies over the past 2 years.

FWIW all politicians lie.

Warren scares me the most, she’s younger than Bernie but just as loony, and a female which boosts support even more. She’ll have to shift more center if she wins the primary and I’m convinced a republican house or senate could prevent any major legislation from passing, but still the thought of her is frightening. So I guess the only good thing about Warren is she probably would get nothing done.

I don’t care that Wall Street doesn’t like her and would prefer Biden, I don’t need help seeing how crazy she is on the issues.

There's zero chance anything meaningful will get passed with her anyway, considering 95% of Congress is bought and paid for by Wall Street and big business already. The Supreme Court will also strike down any legislation that support the working or middle class. You can calm down, there will be no improvement in labor laws, or cheaper health care, child care or higher education even with that "radical" in the White House. There's nothing to be scared of.

At best, the minimum wage might increase by a dollar or two to $8 or $9 by the mid 2020s. The rest will stay just as corrupt as before.

i have listened to Warren and taken a hard look at her actual policy actions.
1. I hope she is the dem nominee.
2. she is so radical that moderate dems and independents will never pull the lever for her.
3. she is actually possibly the most dangerous (policy wise) person running on the dem side.


She is really really subversive and if her policy prescriptions are enacted, she will in fact cause economic chaos that wont be easily overcome.
Just going to point out that this is the exact same though process most Dems had about Trump in 2016

never heard a liberal on the site accuse any Democrat of lying.

How about the lie Obama told the nation about something important to you and your family... your healthcare plan he promised you could keep..... is that more or less important than how high hamburgers were stacked at the reception for the Clemson football team?

Pocahontas is controlled opposition.

Wall Street will love her.

The story is a plant.

McConnell would have one meeting with Warren. To tell her the liberal agenda she ran on will never see the light of day in the US Senate. She'd be done within a month of her term.

Don't count on it. She's very likely to win the women's vote among the Dems. All she needs then is the suburban vote and she's in.

Wall-Street is a much larger concern for all Americans than who the next President is. In case you haven't noticed, Wall-Street controls every President including Trump. Trump is up the Feds butt right now to keep interest rates low for investors, not for us. Trump will lose any Trade War because he cannot allow stocks to drop and make the 1% of shareholders and fund managers upset.

We have a Congress, Voters, Supreme Court to reign in a nut job President (most of Trump and Obama policies were blocked). But what protects the American People from a out of control Wall-Street when the politicians are all bought and paid for and the American public has no financial power to make Wall Street care about the people's needs.

Most Americans are indentured Servants at this point, just trying to stay afloat until they get their freedom at age 65. Of course they usually die soon after but the freedom was good while it lasted.
