(15,438 posts)And with Senator Warren on the warpath with Wall Street (granted, that's a GOOD thing unless, of course, you need money in order to win a nationwide election, which is currently the case), all Wall Street money will flood to her Republican opponent, and she'll be crushed. That is, unless people can open powerful PACs equal to those Wall Street PACs and educate the uneducated American voter in time for the Primaries - which is a tall order, at best.
Even Senator Obama needed Wall Street money in order to win from McCain in 2008.
Wall Street (albeit begrudgingly) supported Senator Obama because of the crash, and they - just as we - know that Democrats are the ones who can bring them back from the brink of financial disaster. And we did. But traitors that those Wall Street billionaires are, they turned on then President Obama in 2012 and gave the lion's share of their donations and PAC money to Mittney. But by then President Obama really didn't need them since he was well-known among the electorate and although he didn't copy the 52.9% win from 2008, he did win with 51.1% in 2012.
