Wall Street To Trump: We're With Her

Hillary Clinton has received more campaign contributions from Wall Street executives than all other candidates combined, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal.

Clinton received $344,000 from the financial services sector in March alone, according to the WSJ's analysis of fundraising data from the Center for Responsive Politics. In total, the Democratic presidential candidate has raised $4.2 million from Wall Street.

More than half of her donations in March were from Wall Street, which was up from 32 percent last year and 33 percent in January through February. Clinton's campaign has said it raised a total of $213 million through April.

Donald Trump, now the presumptive GOP nominee, hasn't received more than 1 percent of donations coming from Wall Street in any month through March. The billionaire businessman has raised $49 million through March, $36 million of which came from his own personal funds.

The analysis revealed that some Wall Street donors who donated to GOP candidates like Marco Rubio and Jeb Bush are now contributing to Clinton's bid.

This is great.

She'll have enough money to finish Trump off.

She's already attracting moderate Republicans.
Recent polling shows Hillary is competitive in red states like Georgia.

She's going to beat Trump in a landslide.

It's going to be a Democratic tsunami.

Hillary is already attracting moderate Republican voters.
Now she's attracting the GOP donors.
Many Republicans are already leaving Trump.

It's a win/win situation for Democrats.

I'm focused on a Democratic Whitehouse
and Senate so we can get better USSC justices than Scalia
and so we can continue the progress started by President Obama.

That's what Democrats are working for.

If Hillary is denying the moderate Republican votes to
Trump and the GOP donors as well.

Then it's win/win for Democrats.

There's nothing to worry about.
Hillary will bring a Democratic tsunami.

Allow states to limit abortion rights?

Leave Citizens United in play?

Ensure that 'super-preditors' are locked up for life in Private prisons?

Allow her to bomb Iran and Syria with immunity?

No thanks!

I guess the answer is in the transcripts. Shouldn't they have been released by now?

She spends more time with them, vacations with them, dines with them.

Her daughter is married to one of them.

Hell, if anything she's THE Wall Street Candidate.

Clinton is being bought by Wall Street. Man at-least GOP you know where they stand because they have been up front with their love of the rich. Silly me in thinking DNC was some how for middle class working people of this country.
