Robert Reich: Warren doesn't just frighten billionaires - she scares the whole establishment

[Soph0571]

The denizens of corporate board rooms, C-suites and Wall Street do not regard Bernie Sanders as a threat because they do not believe he has a chance of being nominated. But they are panicked by Elizabeth Warren.

Financier Leon Cooperman accuses Warren of “trying to demonize wealthy people because there are more poor people than wealthy people”. Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg calls Warren an “existential” threat. Billionaire and possible presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg describes her tax plan as anti-capitalistic.

This is no orchestrated conspiracy. It is more a matter of affiliation and class, revealing once again that biggest divide in America isn’t between Republicans and Democrats, conservatives and liberals or right and left. It’s between the establishment and the anti-establishment, the oligarchy and the rest.

Warren and Sanders have stirred up a hornet’s nest. Beware. Bipartisan stingers are out.

1. Which is why. . .

Warren should have extra Secret Service agents. I wouldn't put ANYTHING past these bastards!

2. Yup. That's why I'm sticking with her.

If the GOP and Wall Street has a favorite, that is definitely who we don’t want as our candidate.

5. Warren scares a lot of Democrats who want to win the GE because they think she might somehow get

the nomination, then lose badly in the GE and possibly cost us control of the House as well.
