Are markets reacting in part to the prospect of a Bernie Sanders presidency?

United States Headlines News

United States Latest News, United States Headlines

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

Market plunge over coronavirus fears underscores political risk to TrumpThe president’s strategy of publicly downplaying the threat the virus poses to the U.S. was undermined Monday as the Dow Jones industrial average shed more than 1,000 points. He takes away money from CDC!!! He takes staffing away from epidemic management. Trump is stupid. Trump is asking for money now from corona virus issues. Why can’t he take it from border wall funding or defense budget like last time? This would be the very definition of emergency.... as opposed to Mexico not paying for a border wall is an emergency that he used last time. Actually it helps. It shows gay if we have open borders and rely on China, we could be really screwed if something really bad happened. Bringing back manufacturing and screening people, two of Trumps big issues, are coming front and center.
