If Joe Biden runs, his presidency goes through Wall Street
Fox Business ^ | 2.17.19 | Charles Gasparino, Suzanne O'Halloran

If Joe Biden does run for president Opens a New Window. , it will be the culmination of two years of weighing the issue while meeting with donors, many of them Wall Street executives -- and nearly duking it out with one of them along the way.

Of course, the former vice president's path to run for president in 2020 Opens a New Window. didn't literally begin on the corner of Wall and Broad Streets in lower Manhattan.

But as FOX Business has reported, financial sector donors have been at his side from nearly the moment he began thinking about the White House.

more from the article:

...Biden demonstrated that he still hasn't lost his will to fight when at a private dinner, he got into a verbal spat with activist investor Bill Ackman of Pershing Square, famous for battling (unsuccessfully) corporations, including Herbalife and Valeant.

The back-and-forth stunned A-Listers and ended with Biden calling Ackman an a**hole.

Won’t surprise me to see Wall Street pick a guy who’s Center-Left. Instead if many socialists ruunning to the Left in the Democratic Party like Bernie and the gang.

Ackman Is such a brat.

He’s made some good calls, but more recently some really bad oneals.

Biden... he is the product of frontal lobe vascular surgery. Short on impulse control, and well past his sell-by date.

So the Democrats, the party of diversity and inclusion, will choose the old white guy as their candidate?

Wall Street is second in line behind China. They already ran hundreds of millions through his son and Kerry’s step kid.

I’m still betting that the DNC’s SorozNazi Puppetmeisters will get smart (after Obammy and HilLIARy) and nominate someone far more sale-able, even possibly somewhat credible this time.....in order to WIN, seize power again....

I’m surprised Wall Street is this tone deaf.

It was President Trump who lowered corporate tax rates to 21%, igniting the economy, not the groper Joe Bite Me.

Jeff Bezos made the mistake of not asking Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for her approval before embarking on his recent fiasco of trying to locate an Amazon distribution center in New York City.

AOC hates Wall Street even more than she hates big companies like Amazon.

So what is likely to be her reaction when moderate Joe Biden and his Wall Street billionaire friends join forces to try to defeat the socialist AOC wing of the Democratic party in the 2020 elections?

Another reason to “BUILD THE WALL”, but this time around Wall Street to keep this sleazy con-artist out.
