Fears about the spread of coronavirus, to be sure. But a chorus of analysts also thinks concerns about Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders winning the Democratic presidential nomination — and possibly even the presidency — are also contributing to jitters.
The cat is out of the bag. The corporate wing of the Democratic Party is publicly "anybody but Bernie." They know our progressive agenda of Medicare for All, breaking up big banks, taking on drug companies and raising wages is the real threat to the billionaire class. https://t.co/zimci7JRO6 Bianchi served as a policy adviser in both the Obama and Clinton administrations. But as Tom Porcelli, chief U.S. economist for RBC Capital Markets, wrote late last week, the possibility of Sanders beating Trump “is not a zero probability event.”
Bianchi plans on watching Tuesday night’s South Carolina debates closely to see if any of the other Democrats can “slow the Sanders primary sweep,” as well as “any signs of alliances or consolidation in the moderate/non-Sanders lane that can make it a force to compete against Sanders.”
yes
Are space aliens gearing up for invasion due to the prospect of a Bernie Sanders presidency? Ummm...maybe, yup.
Yes, i demand bernie sanders refund me for the losses in my portfolio
It's the spread of Bernie's socialism
Bahahaha NEVER!!!
Coronavirus projected economic impact.
no, please. ...stop spreading this crap -- it is far more likely that the markets are reacting to the FACT that we have an ignorant President claiming the virus is 'contained' and 'will be over by April'....showing USA is NOT going to do anything about this
Not yet......but they will
Once the healthcare industry thinks a Sanders presidency is real, they'll hatch a Business Plot like they did in 1933 and we'll need another Smedley Butler to prevent a coup.
Seems pretty clear now it’s 4 more years of realDonaldTrump
Absolutely, if Bernie carries South Carolina by the same margins he carried Nevada...watch out!
No, not yet anyway
More likely they are reacting to a flailing ignoramus in WH who has no capacity to illustrate a plan for a crisis, and business leaders trying to level set down quarters with cloudy forecasts. But more the ignoramus.
no its coronavirus
Nope not even close to starting to think about the likely damage that will do to the market - we have that to look forward to once Coronavirus news slows down
I'm sure you'd get some sell off if we knew Sanders was going to win.
🙄
Maybe more like China being closed to business and Europe next.
Which flavor of Trump kool aid are you drinking? It’s coronavirus and you know it
Uh NO! It’s typical BS that won’t be around in 2 months! BTFD
Since the investor class is totally detached from the reality most Americans suffer under, I'd imagine they have no idea why he is doing well. Their propped up economy on the backs of the working class is about to come crashing down with the fallout from Coronavirus epidemic.
no
