Wall Street donors warn Clinton not to tap Warren as VP, according to Politico. Credible threat?

Honestly, reading this article, its like reading quotes from republicans.

Most big donors don’t 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.

Because Wall Street and private sector loving GWB was so good for the economy, right? Because we all know the economy drives on whether private business feels like it is being appreciated enough by who's in the White House? And regulation is just evil government constricting good business who would never do such a thing as exploiting the little guy and blowing up the whole economy for short-term personal payouts?

I'd understand that quote as a statement coming from a republican, that's their ideology, but a supposed 'democratic' donor? Why don't we start asking the Koch brothers for money?

A constant theme that emerged in the interviews is that executives in the financial industry believe the first 100 days of a Clinton administration could feature potential deal making with Republicans, who are likely to maintain their majority in the House of Representatives.

I was so tempted to just write HAHAHA here, I decided not to for civility's sake, but this is really ridiculous. The republican Congress couldn't even pass a budget deal this year with a majority in both houses. The republicans in congress have done barely anything but obstruction for the past eight years. The congress which passed the sequester as a sword above their own necks to force themselves to agree to a budget deal and then couldn't agree so the sequester went into effect.

And these people are saying that this congress, this republican party, that couldn't work together with Barack Obama in eight whole years is now somehow going to make a deal with Hillary "murderous criminal she-witch" Clinton? The congress that has has spend the past four years holding a never-ending Benghazi witch hunt just to find something, anything, to hurt her politically? I apologise, but I really can't take that seriously.

Again, this reads like a republican talking points of blaming Obama for not negotiating.

I'm sure there are other good reasons to forego a Warren pick, but if this is the argument against Warren, my advise to her is this: Bern em all. (Game of Thrones SPOILERS)
