Wall Street is growing increasingly terrified that Donald Trump — once viewed as an amusing summertime distraction — could actually win the Republican nomination for president. The real estate billionaire, who took another populist shot on Sunday by ripping into lavish executive pay, continues to rise in the polls. Would-be Wall Street saviors like Jeb Bush are languishing in single digits. The belief that Trump's candidacy would quickly fade is now evaporating in a wave of fear.

I hope trump’s security detail well paid
And Bernie Sanders could win on the Dem side.
So they will no longer be able to buy off both sides of the Uniparty. Awwwwwww! Poor Babies!!!
And God forbid Bolshevik Bernie wins. *shivers*
The financial-government “complex” does have much to worry about...INCLUDING TRUMP!!
Using FR’s search capability to find articles with the word “panic” in their titles yields an enjoyable trove.
And we have a winner!
Most Wall Street hedge their bets in political campaigns. They end up with positions that ensure they won’t face big downside losses (or big upside gains) in the event any plausible candidate wins. (Now, a Bernie Sanders win might very well fall outside these hedged positions!)
Personally if the GOPe decides to kneecap Trump with dirty tricks, I’m prepared to sit home on election day and let Wall Street and the Chamber of Commerce experience four years of life under Bolshevik Bernie.
They can come crawling begging our forgiveness afterwards.
That’s good!
Bernie against the Donald...? L.O.L. If ANYONE is left undecided they have 10 pounds of shit packed between their ears. (which describes liberals)
Wall Street is the Uniparty.
Losing power is a b*tch.
The GOP establishment is already martialing lots of Democrats to cross-over and vote in the GOP primaries.
You bet they are. And having watched that every four years for decades, that’s one of the primary reasons why I’m a big Trump supporter.
We can’t do anything, if we can’t get over that hurdle.
Presidential election after presidential election, it’s the same old thing.
Our folks get primaried out.
Fore once we’re going to be Rove-proof.
Notice that most of the individuals and groups opposing Trump are beneficiaries of special treatment from the government that awards or protects some sort of wealth, power or privelege that they enjoy.
Most of the individuals and groups supporting Trump or neutral about his candidacy fall into two camps:
Those who do not receive special treatment from the federal government.
Those who have their constitutional or legal rights and freedoms violated by the federal government or are subjected to some sort of government abuse, persecution or tyranny.
Yap, we do not hear the word “clown” much any more.
You have two men who are really fringe candidates getting ready to take the GOP and Dem nomination.
