video: Clinton’s Wall Street Donors Are Blocking Warren for Vice President
Tuesday, June 21, 2016
According to Politico, “Big Wall Street donors have a message for Hillary Clinton: Keep Elizabeth Warren off the ticket or risk losing millions of dollars in contributions.”
How much money has Clinton raised from Wall Street? Through May, Clinton has raised $4.2 million from Wall Street and Clinton’s Super PAC has raised another $18.7 million.
But, Warren raises concerns for Wall Street. She has made a career ripping big banks and Wall Street. One of Warren's most epic quotes, "I'm really concerned that too-big-to-fail has become too-big-for-trial." Needless to say, Wall Street is concerned about a Clinton-Warren ticket.
Attack Dog Warren
For the past few weeks, Warren has been the most aggressive Democratic critic of GOP Presidential Candidate. Both in speeches and on social media Warren has been attacking Donald Trump -- relentlessly.
In Tweets both from her Senate and campaign Twitter accounts, she has attacked Trump for his stances on Muslims, guns, race,
Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren Jun 7
A marriage between @realDonaldTrump’s toxic racism & @RepHensarling’s Wall Street giveaways is a path to ruin for our country.
Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren Jun 6
The GOP says if gov isn’t working for them & their rich buddies, they won’t let it work for anyone. That extremism got us @realDonaldTrump.
Elizabeth Warren @elizabethforma May 25
Fling as much mud as you want, @realDonaldTrump. Your words & actions disqualify you from being President - & I won't stop saying it.
Warren escalated her attacks on Trump, and tied Mr. Trump’s inflammatory comments about a federal judge to what she calls the Republican Party’s obstructionism on judicial appointments.
Clinton and Warren Meet
Last Friday, Warren and Clinton meet in a private meeting. The meeting was a sign to some that Clinton was considering Warren on the ticket. Clinton's campaign has about a month to make a selection. The 2016 Democratic National Convention will be held at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia July 25th-28th, 2016. Others claimed to be on the proverbial "short list" include, Virginia U.S. Senator Tim Kaine, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, Clinton's primary rival, is not on the shortlist of vice presidential candidates.
Warren who has spent her career hammering Wall Street and has repeatedly called for greater regulation of the "Big Banks" and Wall Street.
"In a dozen interviews, major Democratic donors in the financial services industry said they saw little chance that Clinton would pick the liberal firebrand as her vice presidential nominee. These donors despise Warren’s attacks on the financial industry. But they also think her selection would be damaging to the economy. And they warned that if Clinton surprises them and taps Warren, big donations from the industry could vanish," wrote Politico.
