Democratic donors on Wall Street and in big business are preparing to sit out the presidential campaign fundraising cycle — or even back President Donald Trump — if Sen. Elizabeth Warren wins the party’s nomination.
In recent weeks, CNBC spoke to several high-dollar Democratic donors and fundraisers in the business community and found that this opinion was becoming widely shared as Warren, an outspoken critic of big banks and corporations, gains momentum against Joe Biden in the 2020 race.
“You’re in a box because you’re a Democrat and you’re thinking, ‘I want to help the party, but she’s going to hurt me, so I’m going to help President Trump,’” said a senior private equity executive, who spoke on condition of anonymity in fear of retribution by party leaders. The executive said this Wednesday, a day after Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that the House would begin a formal impeachment inquiry into Trump.
During the campaign, Warren has put out multiple plans intended to curb the influence of Wall Street, including a wealth tax. In July, she released a proposal that would make private equity firms responsible for debts and pension obligations of companies they buy. Trump, meanwhile, has given wealthy business leaders a helping hand with a major corporate tax cut and by eliminating regulations.

Seems to me that fear is a big part of why they are Democrats.
What about crazy Bernie? The Wall Street dem donors have no problem with HIM?
That communist old bastard is every bit as bad as the fake Indian, Squaw Full-of-Crap’em.
This man says the SAME thing blue collar union workers are saying. The private equity executives and American workers saying the SAME thing? In the same way? This could be a very strange election.
Joe Biden: Ukraine will hurt him more than Trump. So much for that plan.
Sanders: Hillary Clinton has not forgotten him.
Harris: Kiss California and the nomination goodbye.
Beto: Can not deport 10 million people here illegally, somehow is going confiscate 20 million rifles from citizens.
This makes the GOP primaries look Mister Roger's Neighborhood.
They are desperate enough that I could see them trying to ally with the Deep State to assassinate the President, and perhaps find a RINO Never Trumper to blame it on.
Because of the massive vote fraud in the 2020 election- don’t be surprised to see Mrs Clinton president in 2022
“2020. Trump. Landslide. Moderate Dem Voters Crossing Over. Working Class Dems Crossing Over. Blacks. Hispanics. Crossing Over.”
Wall Street, Bankers, and the wealthy crossing over (along with their big buck donations crossing over) ...
also, i bet more Jews will be crossing over too ... and more Catholics ...
Good one!
Me like!
Thanks for that. I'm signing off now to puke and take a shower. Thanks again.

I’m just pointing out that Wall Street will kiss any ass that’s ahead in the polls, no matter what their economic agenda may be.
Maybe they can all fix this if they smoke a peace pipe in her tipi?
I doubt it
Same group that is most predominate on Wall Street as Hollywood and print and televised media
They make movies all day long that lose money yet pimp their worldview
They pimp news shows that lose money to push their secular messianic nwo worldview
They will support Trumps enemies even if those enemies threaten to take their money because Trump espouses love of our history and traditions
It’s stupid behavior from an otherwise damn bright group
Is it fear or hate....debatable...maybe both
Listen, I know these rats have their money pipelines set up it runs straight from rat politicians into their pockets and back. But shouldn’t this be a clue to who really wants them and America to succeed?
I disagree with your scenario.
It’s more likely that if Trump wins big and has coattails, then it will be a wake up call for a lot of politicians - on both sides of the aisle.
Even though RINOs seem like idealogues, they’re not. The just want to do whatever it takes to keep their job. Some of the Never-Trump neocons are idealogues but they are losing influence as time goes in.
The Wildcard is what will the big donors do? Many of them have a vested interest in open borders and such.
Please feel free to use ‘Ever Trumpers’ early and often!
Reality may be coming like a high speed train bearing down on the left wing idiots playing on the tracks and ignoring the train’s warning whistle!
Amen! 24/7!
I agree. The media is powerful and it tells lies which sway a lot of people across the country. But the reality is that the working class and the owning class all have good reasons to support President Trump. I think the media may be self-destructing with the Biden/impeachment coverage which is totally over the top.
If President Trump can truly neuter the media and get people to reject Fake News, he will win the biggest landslide in history.
