Wall Street Panic: Trump Could Win
Wall Street is terrified that The Donald could be the Republican nominee.
(Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)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.” In a statement sent to POLITICO on Monday from his campaign, Trump relished in the attacks from Wall Street, singling out both Bush and Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, another favorite on Wall Street.
…
Trump’s skill at tapping into populist discontent with all major U.S. institutions — including Wall Street — has financial executives increasingly dismayed at the GOP front-runner’s staying power and long-term impact on the party even if he doesn’t get the nomination.
…“I don’t think Trump is going to win, but I do worry about all the damage being done to Republicans among Hispanics and women by him being such an idiot,” said a senior executive and major GOP fundraiser at a large bank who also declined to be identified by name. “Everyone thinks he is a buffoon and a bombastic loudmouth who won’t be around at the end. But the concern is that he is still at 30 in the polls and he is going to hang around for a while and do a great deal of damage.”

sounds right to me – anyone who scares those wall street gangsters must be saying something right – the clows at the foot of Manhattan are the driving force for damn near every social, political, and economic problems anyone is facing any/every where. Let them screw themselves where the sun don’t shine – maybe a true shake up is needed.
rg9rts September 15th, 2015 at 04:59
If that doesn’t throw millions at the DNC I don’t know what would

There is no way in hell Trump can do what he says he can. He’s like every candidate in the world, promises all sorts of stuff to get elected and then reality hits after the election (if he or she IS elected). A president is NOT Superman. He or she cannot govern by decree alone and they have to try and work with the other branches of government INSIDE the machine that is government.
Trump is the same thing as a carnival barker selling snake oil, he does it for money and attention and has NO plans to do any of what he says. Wall Street is nothing more than a bunch of panicky money freaks who have their heads shoved so far up their ass, they can’t see daylight.

You created this Frankenstein’s monster, Republicans, with your nonstop hate.
You bring him down.
Mann T. September 15th, 2015 at 07:52
He is recasting himself as a populist, moving on from being a far right hater. Be interesting to see what the far right folk who worship the wealthy will think of his re-distributive leanings.
Drew B September 15th, 2015 at 09:10
i think he has a very good chance of winning – he is everything Obama is not –
And people don’t trust Obama anymore – they gave the quiet, strong,composed thinker and manly guy a chance and look where its got them. they will swing to the totally opposite – watch this space
whatthe46 September 15th, 2015 at 09:30
Obama is one of the best presidents we’ve seen. stop being butthurt already. furthermore, he’s not running again, you do understand that right? and lastly, this idiot has about as much of a chance as winning as satan would get blizzard in hell.
Drew B September 15th, 2015 at 09:34
i never said Obama was running again – i was comparing the two – and yes i still say he may just become the president –
whatthe46 September 15th, 2015 at 09:38
hollywood would never endorse this idiot. as for Obama and comparing him to tRumpet, you have proven yourself not eligible to vote, nor smart enough.
Drew B September 15th, 2015 at 09:48
comparing the differences between the two is what i was doing –
– and you being arrogant enough to say he will never become president is interesting to say the least – many many people had the same attitude when Obama was running – saying he would never get in – so like i said – lets wait and see
whatthe46 September 15th, 2015 at 10:14
he will never ever become president. he’s an uneducated idiot and you cannot sit there with a straight face and compare the two in any way, shape, form or fashion as to suggest he would be better than Obama. the man is a convicted racist and bonafied fool. outside of bating people like you, his master races, who encourages hate, he has nothing going for him.
Drew B September 15th, 2015 at 10:41
its all about perception – so all your comments on what he is and is not is irrelevant – if the people on the whole feel he is the right guy for the job – nothing will change that
whatthe46 September 15th, 2015 at 11:00
there’s not that many stupid people on the planet. only a few. and i’m happy that those of you are wasting your votes. go for it. he’ll NEVER be pres.
Drew B September 15th, 2015 at 11:05
you seem very sure –
whatthe46 September 15th, 2015 at 11:20
well, counting you of course.
jybarz September 16th, 2015 at 02:08
“he is everything Obama is not”
You’re right, but in the most stupid way.
Of course, he’s not.
He’s a bloody big mouth, racist, misogynistic pig.

Putting the fear of God into Wall Street , now that is quite an impressive feat unto itself
Roger Xavier Jackson September 16th, 2015 at 00:08
Trump has brought the true republican party hatred out and win are loose he will single handedly bring down the entire party. I can see a big shift in politics coming. If he get elected he will start a nuclear war and kill all of man kind while the rich get lost in space on a new planet. Alot of money is being invested in space
