If Clinton picked Warren, her whole base on Wall Street would leave her, said one top Democratic donor who has helped raise millions for Clinton. They would literally just say, We have no qualms with you moving left, we understand all the things youve had to do because of Bernie Sanders, but if you are going there with Warren, we just cant trust you, youve killed it.
Most big donors dont want Warren on the ticket because she is the most accomplished anti-Wall Street populist in the Democratic Party. But many also think her presence would drive a potential Clinton administration too far to the left, poison relations with the private sector from the start and ultimately be damaging to the economy.
