Some Of Wall Street’s Top Republican Supporters Are Now Backing Hillary Clinton

Even some who once supported Trump.

Instead of shifting their focus to presumptive Republican presidential nominee, Donald Trump, some Wall Streeters who once backed the GOP are now giving money to Hillary Clinton.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the Democratic frontrunner has raised more contributions from executives in the financial services industry than all other candidates combined. That’s about $4.2 million in this election cycle.

She’s even gained donations from Wall Streeters whose first pick in Republican candidates, including former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, and Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, have exited the race. Some of the donors have been lifelong Republicans, or even once backed Trump. More than 500 contributors who gave more than $200 to Republican candidates earlier in this election cycle, are now giving money to Clinton rather than the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, according to political research group, Crowdpac.

Gotta keep that 21st century fascism going strong! The crony capitalism, the corruption etc... nothing more than good old fashioned 1930’s-1040’s fascism.
