So of course they'd prefer Hillary over loose cannon Trump, regardless of how strongly she'd want to regulate them.
Which is not very much. The foundation of DLC/Third Way is deference to Wall Street.
You can have your own personal opinion about how much she may or may not want to regulate them, but my point stands. As long as she doesn't intend on destroying the entire financial system, it's not hard to see why they'd back her as the lesser of two evils over a guy that dabbles in nonsensical, insane, and dangerous economic policy that could send us into a depression. I heard Wall Street CEOs breathe oxygen too, should we switch to nitrogen as a protest?
It's also worth noting...these people backed Jeb/Rubio/Walker etc. heavily. They would've backed Cruz heavily if he got the nomination. Yet, as the article shows, even now that Trump is the nominee many of them are still reluctant to commit to her. If she was
such a Wall Street shill, they'd have been on her bandwagon for months, or would've jumped on it en masse immediately after Trump won the nomination. They don't want her because she's not going to push through their preferred legislation. Whether that is because of political calculation or genuine conviction is quite frankly irrelevant. Regardless, many of them correctly see her as the less risky choice.
