Showing Original Post only (View all)Report: Gabbard Snuggles Up To Wall St. Execs, Considers 3rd Party Run [View all]
.
Someone's got friends at FOX News!
Fox Business' Charles Gasparino reports that Tulsi Gabbard had a powwow with a group of Wall Streeters organized by Anthony Scaramucci.
"She's not doing very well in the primary right now," Fox Business' Charlie Gasparino reports. "She's had this big fight with Hillary Clinton, exchanges that were pretty nasty. Also there is widespread speculation in the Democratic Party that she's going to run as a third-party candidate that would hurt obviously who would eventually become the nominee."
Accurate so far, for sure, and Gasparino certainly has a line into Wall Street executives, which suggests there may be some truth to the rest of his report.
"Gabbard was in New York City last night for a private meeting with Wall Street executives and possible donors. This meeting occurred at Anthony Scaramucci's Hunt and Fish club. It was sponsored by Robert Wolf, as you know is a Fox Business contributor but also a prominent Democratic Party fundraiser." said Gasparino.
He then went on to point out that Bob Wolf is a part of the Democratic Party establishment, but also a Wall Street executive and venture capitalist who was formerly the CEO of UBS Americas. Apparently he also has some political advisory firm with Scaramucci, too. That is all accurate. Wolf serves on the board of the Obama Foundation and as is noted at the end of the report, is a "Biden guy."

I'm sure she'll get lots of support from Susan Sarandon, Michael Moore, and Cornel West...

Well, if she thinks she can win, running as an Independent Liberal, she knows it will benefit Trump.

I need some time to process this, because I'm shocked, and certainly didn't see it coming.

I wonder if someone on her campaign is so disusted with her that they tipped off HRC's folks.
