Politico has a profile titled "Meet the Anti-Elizabeth Warren":


"Still, there’s no question that executives and investors industry-wide see Capito as part of the team. She advocates for freeing financial firms from regulatory burdens, and has supported bills backed by large banks, such as legislation to loosen restrictions on derivatives trades and to exempt certain types of securities from the Volcker Rule."

“She’s loved. Members love her. Lobbyists love her. She’s closest thing to a normal person you can get in a politician,” said one financial services lobbyists who asked to speak anonymously. “She’s comfortable with the issues, she knows the issues, she knows what industry is generally concerned with — she shares those concerns for the most part.”

They are just trying to rain on our parade. They want to suppress the vote and make us think all is lost.

Lack of regulation and republican policies poison your water so you vote to make it worse.

Duh.

Natalie Tennant wasn't a great option, but Capito is just awful. She appeals to the lowest common denominator.
