Finance executives are now bracing for Joe Biden to potentially win the presidency as Donald Trump slides in national and swing-state polls.
Various current and former Wall Street financiers, analysts, lobbyists, lawyers and political advisors with banking clients spoke to CNBC about how the industry is bracing for a possible Biden win. Some spoke on the record, others decided to discuss on the condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak publicly on the issue.

Propaganda. Stuart Varney was spouting this meme this morning, too. Bye bye, Stuart...

This is from CNBC. A Biden presidency would be a total disaster because he would only serve a short time, then resign with Kamela Harris becoming the president. Or he may never run and be replaced at the convention. I don't see how he can debate President Trump with his memory problems.

HAHAHAHA. So many butt-hurt ANALysts still smarting from the drubbing they took last election. Hillary was gonna not only win but BURY Trump...the NY Times gave her a 98% chance of winning the morning of the election.
CNBC, still whistling past the graveyard, almost four years later.

So CNBC, pitching in now to create that false sense of inevitability like the other lefties? We've this tactic many times before. It obviously doesn't work.

You have to consider the source of these fake Democrat inspired anti-Trump media reports and then simply vote on November 3rd.

The largest cities and metropolitan areas in the country are almost universally blue, the democrats have the House, and GOP senators have grown even more squishy, so I'm not discounting an electoral disaster in November. Nothing is a foregone conclusion in 2020.

Biden can win in a cakewalk if he picks a great diverse woman of color as hi veep. Rashida Talib is his only choice for total and complete annihilation of Trump and to finish off the complete destruction of the United States.

No need for bracing, Wall Street folks. If Biden wins, he will be minus a brain; THEN you can brace yourselves for the worst ride of your lives.

They will be SHOCKED, absolutely SHOCKED, when Trump wins YUGELY in November.
We will smile because this will confirm over two elections that the pollsters and media are propagandists and therefore useless to the Country.
I can't imagine the Leftist angst. If you thought 2016 was entertaining, the 2020 collapse will be sweet. Do you think Uncle Joe will write "What Happened II" (ghost authored by Hillary)?

And no comments allowed either.
It's not like this kind of dreck wasn't coming in plain view.
The fact that they're trying to pull this now, in June no less, is actually a very strong indicator that the Dems are panicking.

Wall Street does not vote. I heard this on the radio from an ABC affiliate. Don't believe a word of anything. The media and their accomplices are full throttle on destroying our country. Goes to show you how swayed Wall Street is by propaganda. I don't trust them. They are a bunch of elitist Democrats and Rino Republicans who represent companies who do business in China. They don't represent the vast right wing silent majority, aka, voters.

People may be reacting to the media blitz that is stoking the racism meme. If people believe Trump=racist and they are deathly afraid of being labeled a racist, they will vote for Biden to be a "good person". The BLM strategy of guilt-shaming and racial bullying is working with soft independents who are clueless about what is really at stake in November and vote strictly on their "feelings" to not be considered racist.
Trump needs to show Biden as a weak puppet of China and Socialist forces that will restore the "managed decline" of the US economy and take away their private health insurance. He also needs to appeal to those blacks that are the victims of the Democrat party neglect especially regarding charter schools. Also, don't discount the very real possibility that Biden will self-destruct during the debates with Trump. There's still a lot of game left before November but if articles like this can discourage Trump turnout it can tip the scales in Biden's favor. This is not the time for complacency and we should expect the left to lie, cheat, and steal to win votes by any means necessary.

If Biden wins, you'll see a stock market crash that will make 1929 look like a modest drop.
I could see the Dow as low as 10,000.

PS I'm scared that the cardboard cut out (Biden) could win. Folks, it was really, really close in 2016 and our side didn't do well in 2018. It looks like our Senatorial campaign committee is using that oh-so-successful "Paul Ryan Plan to Keep the House" from 2018 as well. There are deep stat puppet masters who will run the show and make Orwell's 1984 look like a happy read.
That means we have to work harder and defeat the opposition. Including winning the House, keeping the Senate and the White House and winning at the state legislator level (ie, redistricting).

Yeah, NBC/CNBC/MSNBC are all such neutral sources of trusted and accurate information.
I would trust my bookie on his "sure bet" recommendations first.
Maybe the betting should be on the Over/Under for a 40-state Landslide.

Everything you see right now, riots, pandemics, racism, etc., is all designed to make you believe it's all over for Trump. This is totally predictable and it will get worse. I don't know how, but it will. Don't fall for this guys!!!

If Wall Street seriously can believe "Hair Sniffer Biden" can win or is leading in the poll, then America's economy deserves to go down the toilet into the 3rd world sewer.

Anyone who believes the polls, should immediately have their voting rights revoked. My belief that the polls are BS isn't based on what happened in 2016, it's just common sense. The people doing these polls are all media types. Guess who the media is all in for.

Any financial analyst who actually believes in these polls.... I sure as heck don't want them managing my money. Too gullible..
The only poll I'll believe that shows the Democrat candidate* winning, is one that factors in the massive democrat vote cheating that WILL be taking place.
* I say Democrat candidate, rather than Biden, because I'm not convinced that Biden will be the nominee, when all is said and done.

If you really have your antennae tuned properly, you can detect the spreading of these waves of disinformation. Today I heard the first on Varney - he is easily panicked and knows squat about American politics - and spread into the talking heads later in the morning and on and on …
So tune your antennae!

Mitch and his gang don't quite know what to do. Their Chamber of Commerce masters aren't to pleased since they can't import all the cheap labor they wnat. Many college graduates, their brains stunted by their advanced education will want to replace the bad mean old orange man (not knowing why he is a bad old mean man, just the they "feel" like he is and besides everyone says so). The democrat vote gathering machine will be in full operation. Chances are the dead will rise and vote and every person in a vegetative state will momentarily rouse themselves themselves for just long enough to vote a straight democrat ticket and turn the ballot over to that nice antifa person to take to the nearest vote bundling location. It is likely that many of the characters from your favorite movies and cartoons will participate. I hope the MAGA team has a plan to limit the vote to living legal citizens but I see no evidence of them doing so. So don't count on any easy victory. Broken glass once again.

Unless Trump gets focused and disciplined and stops saying dumb things like “Kung flu” then Biden will be twenty points ahead by Labor Day.
