Clinton Nightmare: Republican Platform Reinstates Glass-Steagall

Donald Trump is using his Art of the Deal to attack Hillary Clinton’s Wall Street fundraising spigot by promising to reinstate the Depression-era Glass-Steagall Act that her husband, President Bill Clinton, repealed in the waning days of his Administration.

The demand to repeal Glass-Steagall is also a page taken from Hillary’s primary opponent, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), and offers an opportunity to hit her from the left as well as the right.

According to a report by The Hill, Donald Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort toldreporters in Cleveland on the first day of the Republican National Convention that the GOP Platform would include language calling for “a reintroduction of Glass-Steagall, which created barriers between what big banks can do.”

Glass Steagal is the very reason why Trump cannot be elected POTUS.
The banks cannot allow it to happen. Ever again.

Not being familiar with the ins and outs of Glass-Steagall Act, I googled it.

Found Wall ST is upset with the Don for his proposal. You have a rough road to hoe, straightening up EVERYTHING the Dems and Rinos have done to screw us, but you will meet the challenge. Go for it Trump !!!!

Trump is the only Republican that is trying to straighten out BS that McConnell and Boehner and Ryan refuses to address.

200 get a grip. If DC is going to straighten out their mess, they're going to have to make painful choices. Their abuses have become over the top.

You don't understand the point being made by 2:00

The banks CANNOT allow this to happen.
It won't happen.
It cannot happen.

It isn't about choice. The bankers simply cannot allow it.
All of their schemes will fail if they can't steal depositors' money.

Get it?

The banks have gotten to the point of 1932 era problems because of Liberals and their nonsense. Now this may have to be implemented, regardless of whether or not banks like it. It's really just too bad.
