Report: Wall Street Republicans Prefer Hillary over Ted Cruz, Rand Paul

The permanent political class and their donors think a Jeb Bush vs. Hillary Clinton battle in 2016 would be a win-win scenario, and many Republican Wall Street donors would rather have Clinton in the White House than Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) or Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY).

“If it turns out to be Jeb versus Hillary we would love that and either outcome would be fine,” a Wall Street donor told the publication. “We could live with either one.

I’m not a fan of Jeb, but what makes you think he would do worse than Romney did in the primaries?

I hear ya, dog, but jeb would lose huge because his name is Bush.

Hate to say it, but Hillary will likely win because her name is Clinton.

Ping to Post #55, Sarge.

BarnacleCenturian was attempting to be subtle about pushing the libertarian agenda, but he must have gone a step too far and gotten the stealth electric boot.

Not really sure, besides pushing a bit too hard on the Libertarian side...
