5. Not true. Wall St. doubles down on a Bush/Clinton Dynasty

Tue Oct 20, 2015, 12:23 PM

Oct 2015

But Hillary is indeed their dream candidate, as the numbers do not lie.

Clinton total contributions = $77.5 million (mostly from Wall St.)
Jeb Bush total contributions = $24.8 million

Clinton's $77.5 million is almost as much as ALL the Republicans combined.

It's all here, in the Wall St. Journal back in July

On edit: here's another table that shows what's going on with Wall St. & Bush/Clinton

Clinton, Bush, Rubio Are Top Recipients of Big Bank Cash
