Billionaires would prefer that the 2020 Democratic Party nominee for the presidential contest be another politician who talks about the poor but backs the rich in practice, ideally Hillary Rodham Clinton, but if not her, then the easygoing Joe Biden.

Others in the Democratic Party who wear a liberal exterior but who support hardline policies against the poor and for the wealthy in private are also being primed to enter the fray, to keep out genuine reformers such as Senators Elizabeth Warren or Kamala Harris... .

Secure in the knowledge that Joe Biden will not rock the yachts of the billionaires, the powerful Clinton machine in the Democratic Party is priming itself to get him annoited as the Party nominee in case a second bid by Hillary fails.

Bernie Sanders would be a nightmare for Billionaire Street, as he embodies the folksy practicality of Lyndon Baines Johnson and the soaring idealism of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. #US2020 #2020Elections

The presence of the Clinton machine and the backing it is getting from Billionaraire Street will make the contest for the 2020 Democratic Party nomination an ugly contest.
