Question: Which Democratic candidate appeals most to the white Oligarchy?

[AgingAmerican]

Sanders, O'Malley, or Hillary?

I have read several posts saying wealthy, or wannabe wealthy, Trump supporters are the ones most likely to crossover to Sanders. I'm just not seeing it!1!! It appears to me that fed up, struggling working class Republican types are the only ones willing to cross over!! I must be missing some key component!!

Can some Hillary supporters please clarify this incongruency for me??1??

1. Sanders polls best with the wealthiest Demcrats

Here is an old poll, but it has been consistent.

14. Perhaps I'm reading the chart wrong: $80K+ Income, Sanders 27%, two lines above someone has 46% nt

15. That poll shows Clinton ahead by double digits among the wealthiest Democrats.

Imagine how lopsided it would have been if that group had been split into 80 - 125 and above 125 K...

3. None of them.

Considering media coverage, I would say Clinton is their worst fear. Polling shows Sanders does best with the wealthy so there seems to be support for him there. They all simply seem to be ignoring O'Malley which makes me think they view him as a threat.

In the end, someone in the republican field is who they want.

4. Then why are they funding her campaign?

Hedging their bets in case the Republican candidate loses the general?

5. Everyone is funding her campaign.

It's the sign of a winner. Who is bringing in more from Labor? Why do you think they are funding her campaign.

6. Her primary donors are all corporations and billionares

AKA the Oligarchy

7. She is funded by many.

Nice gloss over on the unions.

13. What matters is who the biggest checks are from.

As to union leaders...in 1992, most of them endorsed Bill in the primaries even though they knew he was anti-union(therefore anti-worker) and pro-NAFTA. In 2000, most endorsed Gore, even though his views on workers and trade were identical to Clinton.

The union leadership, in the majority of American unions, always makes the most conservative choice in Democratic presidential politics, because the leaders care only about the prestige of getting to the go to the White House and about the useless status of "respectability".

8. Link?

10. Judging by their donations, Democrats have no appeal.

By far most of their money and effort are going to elect GOP candidates up and down the ballot -- as always . The GOP is "the party of Business," after all.

12. Why would rich whites ever fear HRC

Anyone who gets big checks from rich whites will always put rich whites first. No politician ever defies his or her biggest donors-that's why they write the checks.

Nobody thinks HRC, as president, will care about the people Bobby Kennedy or FDR cared about.

9. TRICK QUESTION, NEITHER!
