Banks brace for Bernie Sanders

Wall Street is worried that Sen. Bernie Sanders' vigorous calls for banking industry reform will pull Hillary Clinton to the left, as the two presidential candidates battle for the 2016 Democratic nomination.

Sanders (I-Vt.) last week unveiled new legislation designed to break up the nation’s largest banks, declaring that “if an institution is too big to fail, it is too big to exist.”

Though it stands virtually no chance of passage in the GOP-controlled Congress, the bill has industry leaders fretting.

“The prospects of it becoming law are nil,” said one banking lobbyist, who described Sanders’s legislations as “shrill, bombastic and misaligned.”

“But we care about whether this impacts Hillary and whether she’ll try to pander to the far left.”

Oh don't worry your little silly Wall Street bankster heads off, you know she will only be pandering to the left. It's just campaign blather. Nothing will ever come of it.

1. Hee-hee. They only THINK

that's their worst nightmare.

[RobertEarl]

2. Bernie has them peeing their pants

They are on their knees praying Hillary will save them. Hillary is Wall Street's Messiah!

[Jackpine Radical]

5. I think they're still discounting Bernie.

Their echo chamber is reassuring them that Bernie's a fringe candidate.

I have a bumper sticker for them:

[RobertEarl]

6. Of course they are

I almost wish we could keep Bernie a secret. Then spring it on them: BOO!!

But you can bet there are a few in the depths of Wall Street who can see Bernie coming. But denial is deep when it comes to anything but money for those creeps, so they can only see Hillary as their savior.

9. I love that bumper sticker, Jack!

My thoughts exactly.

[NYC_SKP]

3. They have nothing to worry about. Thy're ready for Hillary.

eom

4. K & R !!!

7. If Bernie Has Them Worried That He Will Pull Hillary To The Left Then....

he's doing his job. I'm hoping that the American People will pick up on Bernie's message and get him nominated. If the MSM is trying to minimize Bernie and if the Bankster's are worried - they must really see him as a threat and that he could pull off an upset and become the nominee. Look for some full frontal attacks on Bernie if they perceive the threat getting worse.

8. Hope they are wearing their brown trousers.

Things just might start getting hot for these apostles of selfishness and apologists for greed.

They should be damned glad there are no mobs with pitchforks and torches coming for them, with the people pulling the guillotines bringing up the rear of the mob.

[Jefferson23]

10. They will fight him, the banks and most other lobbies..he is not their friend and they know his long

term goals.

[hifiguy]

11. What genuinely scares them, in the dark of the night,

is that Bernie knows their long-term goals, too.

[Jefferson23]

12. Absolutely, he does..thank goodness he is in this race. n/t

[Hiraeth]

13. They say that like it is a bad thing. Lol

14. ^^^this^^^

15. not a chance. your subject line is misleading

She doesn't have to change anything to win the primary or the ge, and she won't. Bad news for 99% of us. Plus at least four more years of du cheerleaders for corporate friendly government. Ick

[BrotherIvan]

16. If Hillary's advisors think it's important enough for her to don a populist costume

It's important. Or they're just dumb enough to think they can run the same campaign Obama did and win this time. I can't figure out which it is.

[hifiguy]

18. I think they may be just that dumb.

Fool me once, shame on you but we won't get fooled again.

[BrotherIvan]

19. I don't think that hat trick will work again

But who knows? From what I see, the posters here who support Hillary supported Obama through all his rightward journeys, through thick and thin. I'm not sure everyone else is willing to go along for more of the same. They just need to feel like they're not throwing away their vote on someone who can't win. It will be a very curious primary.

[hifiguy]

20. Those cheerleaders don't give a damn about actual policy.

Like Jerry Seinfeld said, they're rooting for laundry.

[jwirr]

17. And this was before the TPA vote today. Watch your back banksters. The country is moving left.

[glinda]

21. I feel she will say anything to win really.

[hifiguy]

23. Indeed.

She reminds me more and more of a pol I grew up watching who would say anything to advance himself.

His name was Richard Milhous Nixon. No principles, no ethics, no core, just blind ambition, to quote John Dean.

[RoccoR5955]

22. They will be pooping in their boots

when Bernie gets nominated, then elected!

[orpupilofnature57]

27. This is the solution .

[PowerToThePeople]

24. banker waahmbulance is on the way.

[Aerows]

25. Wall Street

is pissing their pants because we are due for another financial meltdown, and don't want anyone to criticize them for causing it, since they will be the sole cause of it.

[orpupilofnature57]

26. Like Water & Oil as philanthropist is to misanthrope . That should Elect him !

[Octafish]

28. Would it be permanent?

If so, that might change a lot of things.

[corkhead]

29. Wall St's feigned outrage is all part of the show

Remember some hedge fund manager whining at Obama for being so mean to them? This was in 2010...

Scaramucci told Obama, “We have felt like a piñata,” complaining that “we certainly feel like we’ve been whacked with a stick.” Obama responded that Scaramucci needs to put things into perspective:

Now, you know, I have been amused over the last couple years, this sense of somehow me beating up on Wall Street. I think most folks on Main Street feel like they got beat up on. … There’s — there’s a big chunk of the country that thinks that I have been too soft on Wall Street. That’s probably the majority, not the minority.

32. Nah. More likely, they're worried Bernie's rhetoric will cause unrest among the peasants. n/t

33. False campaign promises "left"? Oh hell yes.

Actually doing it? Not a freakin' chance.
