Gawker – Politico has compiled several anonymous quotes from Wall Street bankers threatening that Hillary Clinton will lose the financial sector’s support if she names Senator Elizabeth Warren her vice-presidential nominee — a somewhat dubious claim that nevertheless makes for a very funny story.
The securities and investment industry has donated $28.3 million to Clinton — more than any other industry, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Warren helped create the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which banks do not like.
