Most pro-Wall Street candidate?
It seems a lot easier to run against Wall Street than to support it, but nonetheless, I want to know who you think is the most pro-Wall Street candidate.
Oddly enough, I think it's actually Hillary Clinton.
The Republican field is a bit of a shitshow right now, with no really great candidates, and I honestly think Clinton would be better for the economy than pretty much any of the R frontrunners. Strong economy = strong Wall Street. Plus Clinton has already shown herself to be pretty Wall Street friendly, so it's not like we'd have to worry about over-regulation like we would with someone like Warren or Sanders at the helm.
Yeah Hillary sounds like a flaming liar when she acts like she wants HF managers to be taxed more. We all know her husband made the GLB act so I doubt she will do anything. I wouldn't be surprised if she or bill has strong ties with some BB's too.
President Warren or Sanders would be like the second coming of the anti-Christ for banks, I don't think they're a good yardstick for comparing favorability to Wall Street. Although on the whole I agree Hillary would be reasonable towards banks, despite some populist campaign rhetoric.
Jeb Bush or any of the other more centrist types would be reasonably pro-finance, although Jeb's budget proposal would tax carry at PE funds at the income rate, which some might see as a bit anti-Wall Street. Overall, I'd say Carly Fiorina is the most pro-finance (not that I know that much about her), but her chances of making it onto the ticket rest entirely on getting the VP slot on Jeb's ticket.
