The populist caricature of Goldman Sachs and a Democrat are very similar. <br /><br />Both are very elitist institutions that think they have out smarted the system, but are chronically wrong and lose from their over confidence and wrong way bets.<br />Both are notoriously corrupt.<br />Both serve the top .01% while claiming to help everyone<br />Technically, Democrats serve professors and the .01%, so they are marginally more inclusive than the GS customers base..<br />Ryan Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04815033054435303399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-17626062309056522262014-11-21T06:43:01.434-05:002014-11-21T06:43:01.434-05:00But Tom why would Kristol here use "Goldman S...But Tom why would Kristol here use "Goldman Sachs" as a pejorative if the "neocons" and the "neoliberals" or whatever are tied at the hip?<br /><br />Seems like he wouldnt want to be seen doing that?<br /><br />Then he refers to HRCs "wealthy friends" which is somewhat populist?<br /><br />Unless we think Kristol's tweets here are themselves contrived and not extemporaneous?

The...HRC has permission to run against Wall Street. They know it is wink, wink, and it's necessary politically to counter Warren. HRC's neoliberal and neocon credentials are solid. IN many ways, she is the ideal candidate for the center right as a counter to the extreme right, which the grownup view as a loose cannon.<br /><br />We can assume the same for a GOP candidate that WS backs. I think that Jeb is a likely choice if he decides to go for it, and I think the odds are in favor that he will, even if the family puts it at 50-50.<br /><br />But in a Clinton-Bush race, the Estabishment donations might be pretty evenly split.Tom Hickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08454222098667643650noreply@blogger.com
