Is Hillary really going to be tough on Wall Street?

[Quixote1818]

They would not have given her all that money if they really believed she was going to be tough on them. I suspect she is winking at them as she gives all this tough rhetoric. What do you think?

1. Mere lip service to the Wall Street

while destroying Main Street.

2. Hmm...

They are frequent campaign donors. I doubt that she will be all that tough on them.

3. Look who has funded her for all of her career...[n/t]

4. If she wins she will work for the banks while trying to suppress the populist fervor that she will

have tried to harness and ride into office.


I wish I could find it. I once saw a video where she was talking about being a lawyer while saying something to the effect that there is not much point to working as a lawyer if one doesn't seek to work for the banks. (I know I bastardized that, but it was something along those lines.).

5. Bernie will not be tough on Wall Street: He won't have the votes break up banks

This is pie in the Sky: Dem's would have to take back both houses,
and the GOP will have plenty of time, scare the American people
about losing their saves to the government.


Hillary, and Obama have been smart people, they get done what is
possible and keep on fighting they are experience at finding
away to win.
Obama, got the ACA done, now Hillary can work on medicare for all,
Hillary made a mistake charging in like bull on Health care.

Bernie and his supporters are promising things he can not deliver

6. I think there's a yawning gap between "break up the banks" and "a few things"

...but then, the purpose of this poll wasn't to get an objective perspective on DU thinking, was it?

7. "Tough" is a meaningless feel good emotional phrase

And comepletely the wrong way to look at it.
