It may sound absurd that a super-rich real estate mogul who peddles opulence is enticing voters who are fed up with the finance community.
And yet a new Bloomberg Politics/Des Moines Register Iowa Poll reveals that a whopping 65 percent of Republican front-runner Donald Trump's supporters say they're "unsatisfied" or "mad as hell" at Wall Street.

You are obviously well versed about the gory details of the Bush-43 era. I actually got to shake his hand when he visited Portland, OR during his first term. He was likable and all that but was a backer of the Wall Street elites, and a part of the GOPe. Do not want another Bush!!
Their percentage math cracks me up.
You said it better than I could in post 11. This is what fractured the GOP base. They still don’t get it....they think we are coming back in a few months. It’s over, most of them just don’t know it yet.
Hell yeah. Wall Street supports H1b visas, supports illegal immigration supports NAFTA, supports trade deficits with Communist China. Whats not to love.
yap, so long as big business is making money, who cares about the middle class..they are just workers, too bad they cost more than the cheap labor express of immigrants (legal, illegal, makes no difference, they are cheaper so we make bigger profits).
Pray America is waking.
The Federal Reserve, and their member banks, have become a main pillar .....also of....the Bush family. Why do you think Bush-43 appointed ex-CEO of Goldman Sachs as his secretary of Treasury?
I really like George Bush personally, I liked his faith and I liked Dick Cheney and Rumsfield and their handling of national security in the year after 9-11.
But at the end of the day, his SEC chair Christopher Cox looked the other way in enforcing certain banking rules against leverage so that firms like Lehman Brothers (now bankrupt) could leverage their assets 40 to 1 versus the normal 10 or 12 to 1. And Bush let Alan Greenspan inflate the asset bubble with low interest rates which sort of helped lead to the 2008 crash.
And on immigration, he had too many big buddies in the construction industry in Texas that liked cheap illegal migrant labor, so there too he pretty much let open borders run wild. The only difference between Bush and Obama is that Obama openly encourages them to migrate here.
I don’t have any malice towards Bush, but he just did a bad job running the country in a conservative and effective way. He let Wall Street and big business run roughshod over things and thus helped usher in the even more destructive Obama era.
I saw that guy talking about it. Let’s stipulate that if he really represents Hispanic small business persons that his membership doesn’t agree with him. Trump will win 98% of the small business owner vote for damn sure and it will likely be no different with his members than in the general populace.
With a big, beautiful door.
;D
Hey, Rona, thanks for the reminder, there.
My thoughts on Bush-43 parallel yours. Very nice person, good on national security, bad on economic and fiscal policies.
