But, but, she received money from people who work on Wall Street! I guess I should have pointed this out in the piece but the financial services industry in New York City is still part of New York City. In short, Wall Street is full of Democrats. Now, they might be more like Steve Rattner Democrats than Bernie Sanders Democrats but it isn't surprising that an industry made up of Steve Rattner Democrats would donate to the front runner.

They definitely don't want to

They definitely don't want to see President Donald Trump. From a banker's perspective, it would be awkward to have a president who owes you money.

Boom. Are you more or less likely to play ball with big banks on Wall Street if they "own" at least part of your portfolio?

Don't know if you saw this from Politifact.

Clinton, still a senator at the time, delivered a speech on the volatility of the subprime mortgage market on March 15, 2007. She said too many people were ignoring warning signs.

"The subprime problems are now creating massive issues on Wall Street," Clinton said. "It's a serious problem affecting our housing market and millions of hard-working families."

She gave specific proposals for addressing subprime mortgages, including expanding the role of the Federal Housing Administration, more borrowing options for underprivileged and first-time homebuyers, more safeguards against predatory lending practices and policies intended to prevent foreclosures.

In August that year, she delivered a similar speech about dealing with problems from subprime mortgages. There, she reiterated earlier proposals, and also suggested laws establishing national standards and registration for loan brokers, as well as regulations on lenders.
