Showing Original Post only (View all)Wall Street’s nightmare: President Elizabeth Warren [View all]
http://www.politico.com/story/2013/11/wall-street-elizabeth-warren-president-2016-elections-99697.html#ixzz2kOdzHg60There are three words that strike terror in the hearts of Wall Street bankers and corporate executives across the land: President Elizabeth Warren.
The anxiety over Warren grew Monday after a magazine report suggested the bank-bashing Democratic senator from Massachusetts could mount a presidential bid in 2016 and would not necessarily defer to Hillary Clinton who is viewed as far more business-friendly for the partys nomination.
If she ran, she could many beat Clinton. While Clinton's politics are more in line with mine, I feel many in the Democratic Party may be tired of the centrist leaning DLC type. While Clinton has the money and general popularity, Warren may be able to beat her in a head to head contest. If she got by Clinton, it would depend on who the GOP nominate. If it is someone like Ted Cruz, she could be the next President. If it were Chris Christie, he will destroy her.
My two cents. The article is right. Wall Street would shit.
