Report: Wall Street Republicans Prefer Hillary over Ted Cruz, Rand Paul

The permanent political class and their donors think a Jeb Bush vs. Hillary Clinton battle in 2016 would be a win-win scenario, and many Republican Wall Street donors would rather have Clinton in the White House than Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) or Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY).

According to a Politico report, "the darkest secret in the big money world of the Republican coastal elite is that the most palatable alternative to a nominee such as Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas or Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky would be Clinton."

“If it turns out to be Jeb versus Hillary we would love that and either outcome would be fine,” a Wall Street donor told the publication. “We could live with either one. Jeb versus Joe Biden would also be fine. It’s Rand Paul or Ted Cruz versus someone like Elizabeth Warren that would be everybody’s worst nightmare.”

Fearing "heavy blowback," no one would go on the record in an article that tries to set the establishment narrative that Jeb Bush should get support because Hillary would have an easier road to the White House if a conservative candidate won the nomination in 2016.

Other Wall Street Republicans have said there would not be any "panic" with Hillary Clinton...

I’m not a fan of Jeb, but what makes you think he would do worse than Romney did in the primaries?

I hear ya, dog, but jeb would lose huge because his name is Bush.

Hate to say it, but Hillary will likely win because her name is Clinton.

What did he say that was wrong? I don’t get this one at all...

Ping to Post #55, Sarge.

BarnacleCenturian was attempting to be subtle about pushing the libertarian agenda, but he must have gone a step too far and gotten the stealth electric boot.

if Hillary wins, will she be the “Third Black President”?

Not really sure, besides pushing a bit too hard on the Libertarian side...
