- Wall Street's Democratic donors are warning they won't back Sen. Elizabeth Warren if she wins the party's nomination, and might even support President Donald Trump, according to CNBC.
- "You're in a box because you're a Democrat and you're thinking, 'I want to help the party, but she's going to hurt me, so I'm going to help President Trump,'" a senior private equity executive told CNBC.
- Warren plans to break up the big banks, crack down on private equity, and regulate executive pay if she becomes president.
Shades of William Jennings Bryan perhaps...
He starred at the 1896 Democratic convention with his Cross of Gold speech that favored free silver, but was defeated in his bid to become U.S. president by William McKinley. In his later years, Bryan campaigned for peace, prohibition and suffrage, and increasingly criticized the teaching of evolution.

We know who was behind William McKinley. It was J.P. Morgan, Rockfeller, Andrew Carnegie and the big industrialists who turned back this populist. Could we be in for a repeat performance of 1898 because should Biden continue to fade (and given his involvement with the Ukraine it's highly probable) then we could be looking at four more years of Trump AND a Crimson Tide hitting the HOR. I deal in historical parallels and that's how I read the tea leaves.
Grove City Lion, pound away at that keyboard.
I thank you.
