The public is reacting against crony capitalism. And, by extension, the business community in general.
If the Tea Party is not the legitimate avenue of that expression it will seek to manifest itself in hard-core Leftism.
Would they rather have Ted Cruz or Elizabeth Warren in charge?
"The public is reacting against crony capitalism."
Yep. And just remember: In two years from now, the same MSM outlets that are oh-so in support of big business (when it comes to bashing the Tea Party) will all be cheering when Elizabeth Warren is trashing businesses and capitalism in her probable run for president...
Would they rather have Ted Cruz or Elizabeth Warren in charge?
Probably Warren. Many of these corporate types supported McAuliffe. They are much more comfortable with a deal making Dem than a conservative.
Excellent observation!
