When contemplating the “inevitability threshold” we anticipated last year the Wall Street power brokers would switch to supporting Hillary Clinton if Donald Trump became inevitable.
[…] The Tripwire we identified back in July 2015 remains today. If Wall Street (writ large) views Donald Trump as inevitable, they will re-evaluate –QUICKLY– the opposite side of their controllable coin. Meaning they will evaluate Hillary Clinton.
Wall Street (The U.S. CoC, Tom Donohue, and all varied interests, DNC/RNC et al) set this up as a win/win. A Clinton/Bush strategy. If Trump is believed to be inevitable in victory over Bush, they need to re-evaluate the Clinton side STAT.
Today that outcome begins:
(Via The Observer) Renaissance Technologies, a hedge fund founded by billionaire James Simons, donated over $13 million to Sen. Ted Cruz’s failed presidential campaign. For a guy who’s supposed to be pretty smart with his money, the ROI on that one has got to sting.
Nevertheless, now that Mr. Cruz is out of the race, Mr. Simons has begun pouring millions of dollars into Hillary Clinton‘s campaign, with Renaissance Technologies donating over $2 million to Ms. Clinton so far this election cycle. Euclidean Capital—also owned by Mr. Simons—has given the Clinton campaign over $7 million in contributions, and such figures are likely to increase as Ms. Clinton slowly transitions her attention from Democratic Primary opponent Bernie Sanders to the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump.
Mr. Simons isn’t the only wealthy donor making the move. A number of deep-pocketed elite have given up trying to buy off Republican politicians in order to support Ms. Clinton—the only establishment-friendly candidate of either party remaining in the race. In response, the Clinton campaign has assembled a group dubbed “Republicans for Hillary” to reach wealthy GOP donors.
Ms Clinton not only shares over 60 of the same donors with the former Republican candidate Jeb Bush but is also making new efforts to court additional Bush family donors, according to a recent Politico report. (read more)
You don’t want to look at anything that is common sense, and I’m not wasting my time with you, I have more important things to do than try to teach kindergarten drop outs how to read...have a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What else would explain a government and so-called representatives, who see the population as suckers who need to be controlled and looted, and operate as if the people are enemy subjects instead of being an unseen guardian of the people.
Nope...But he is in control of where his money comes from...And he is NOT in control of the payback required for the money...And the requirement will be the same whether it's Cruz or Clinton...
They obviously weren’t backing Cruz because they considered him a conservative outsider.....
Thanks! Actually, it was pretty easy to find info about this just by googling. It really feels like so much of the political life in this country (and in this world) has been a facade. But we’re only pilgrims in this world. “The world is thy ship and not thy home” St Therese of Lisieux.
How did you know?
I'm just about to learn how to tie my shoes, too...
Must be pretty embarrassing a kindergarten dropout pointed out you are posting illogical responses......
Yeah, he's a Democrat who gives money to Democrats. The other guy at the company is a big Ted Cruz backer.
It's typical for companies to back candidates on both sides. Heck, this is something that goes back centuries. Wealthy families would back different factions so that they wouldn't lose everything if the other side (Catholics vs. Protestants, Stuarts vs. Hannoverians) won.
But it doesn't mean that the long-time Democrat supporter was giving money to Cruz or that the Cruz backer has shifted to Hillary Clinton.
