The bullshit about how "wall street" is turning away from the Democrats, being propagated by the
MSM is the biggest bunch of baloney I have heard in a long time

wall street NEVER aligned itself with the Democrats. Since FDR they always viewed the repukes as their friends.

Yes, they always hedged their bets with political contributions on both sides, but for the most part they always pushed for repukes, and repukes gave them what they wanted. Deregulation, and corporate takeover of the government

2. Wall street has never let "principles" interfere with its politics
It didn't do so in 2008 when it backed the horse they thought would win, and in midterms many make bets that the opposition picks up seats. What else is new in politics? This isn't.
