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.

(I had to shorten the title a little to get it under the 100 character limit)

I love the smell of political napalm . . .

Wow....now who is available, or think she is available. Rising from the ashes.....

Seems to me they would level this threat against the Socialist. Since he would destroy Wall Street and Capitalism.

But Bernie doesn’t stand a snowballs chance in Hell.

I said this on Monday.
This is the real reason for the DNC panic.
Trump took out Biden with the Ukraine deal and the DNC has no one left except Communists.

Hillary and Mooshelle are both implicated so they are out of the picture.
Bloomberg is the only one left and he is already toast.

I suspect this was a double play of the DNC. One, to take a jab at Trump. Two, to permanently end Biden’s run.

Harris is the most formidable Dem for Trump to face.

In the end, the Dems might be best served by nominating a rubber doorstop as their candidate. The other selections are too flawed.

Watch BJ’s wife try to grab a few headlines away from the coup news, just to sir up some interest.

JK, I think, but who else DO they have?

That’s why “impeachment”.

[dead]

Harris legitimately appeared drunk and weirdly flirty at the last debate. She’s the drunk divorced mother of the groom at the rehearsal dinner, looking to hook up.

Even Wall Street liberal ‘elites’ aren’t ready for a commie to redistribute wealth of the nation....

[RummyChick]

That doesnt make sense if they want Wall Street Money

At least some Dems have the sense to see warren is going to be a huge problem

[RummyChick]

But what about Sanders willing to tax the bejeesus out of Bezos who is busy partying as a single man instead of running his company

[italianquaker]

Choices are limited, biden will be dropping out

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Ah hahahahaha, oh, I’m feeling their quandary noogies.

[llevrok]

My opinion, a candidate is like a Christmas tree. There is not much there without the ornaments that come with it (e.g. the cabinet, admin, policy wonks).

[Zathras]

Look for Tom Steyer to jump in the race.

[Alberta's Child]

The bigger problem with Warren is that she has even less appeal to black voters than Hillary did.
