Papantonio: Bankers Warn Dems To Shut Elizabeth Warren Down



Since taking office in January of 2013, Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has made a name for herself with her fiery takedowns of big banks and the regulators who failed to keep those big banks in check. For example, back in 2013 she asked a panel of bank regulators whether or not ‘too big to fail’ has become ‘too big for trial.’ Comments like that have made many Wall Street enemies for the senator, but that is certainly a sign that she’s on the right track.

As it turns out, some banksters are actually thinking of boycotting the Democratic party because of her. All of this comes as progressives attempt to line up a liberal alternative to Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential elections.

It may indeed have the opposite effect of what they are trying to do.

It would be schadenfreude if after calling for the dems to get rid of Warren, they end up with her being president.

banksters will boycott the Democratic Party? That's bad? Their money is poison anyway. Bring it on.

Wall Street bankster can stop funding campaigns and the Fed can stop bailing them out. They'll quickly go bankrupt.

We, the people win!

Of course everyone knows corporate funding of campaigns are bribes. It sure isn't free speech and corporation are not people and do not have person-hood.
