7. He's 100% Wall Street, just like any replacement would be.
The only meaningful political divide in this country isn't "right and left" but "have and have-not". Unless the general population gets angry enough or smart enough to see that, and stops being so easily manipulated with silly social wedge issues, we'll just have one Wall Street-groomed corporate servant after another. It's like giving the mascot a makeover every few years.
