James Simons is really worried that Hillary will rein in Wall Street

So much so he decided to chip in last month to the tune of 3.5 million to her super PAC.......

$3.5 million: Value of contribution on Jan. 11 from billionaire hedge funder James Simons to Priorities USA Action, the main super PAC backing Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton. The money helped boost the super PAC's cash-on-hand figure to almost $45 million through January - and gives Sanders' new rhetorical fuel for his argument that Clinton is beholden to Wall Street.

It would be over if she did and she knows it.

The head of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce reassured big business Hillary will sign the TPP after she wins. I doubt that he is just pulling this out of his ass! Same as Obama saying he would reign in Wall Street and then he put them in charge of everything. Same as Eric Holder was going to prosecute Wall Street for the fraud that crashed the world economy, NOT!

Just in time for that Oct surprise! To think that a Republican in the audience didn't hit the record button is foolish IMHO.

year. For Democrats to have any chance Bernie has to win. Does anyone think that Trump will go easy on Hillary like Bernie has? Trump doesn't care about issues and policy, just attack.

But if she does it's gonna be ruff. Hillary already backed down from trump and I've never seen her do that before. Not a good sign.

He is our best and quickest path to overthrowing corporate control, everything (and everyone) that Hillary represents. He has the power of the dark forces of the media oligarchy working against him (example, Chris Mathews selling out for his wife to get campaign money), the financial industry, Big Pharma, MIC... and she has bought the endorsements of the establishment politicians and Super Delegates. She is heartless and has no moral compass, sorry that it is true. Everything that she has done was always done to further HER interests. Sometimes that meant something good for us, usually it meant something good for her wealthy friends!

Trump is totally nuts and unprepared, its really scary! He will tear her apart! She is getting a pass from Bernie except on her Wall Street ties, but he isn't aggressive like Americans are used to. This is one area where his sense of fairness and desire to talk about just the issues hurt him. It is admirable, but not many understand the decency of it. They are used to corrupt lying politicians so Bernie seems a "fringe candidate" when he talks about helping us. They don't grasp that he actually means and can do everything that he says! I hope they start to figure it out soon, it is all about getting his message out since the media only distorts, ignores, and attacks him.

A political revolution is still a war and we need to be fighting it as such!
