I'm very confused.

Last week the Post's Paul Kane reported that Dems weren't landing as much Wall Street donor cash, in part because there was a “de facto boycott” of the Democratic Party by wealthy donors. Why? Because they were turned off by the party's anti-big business rhetoric. (Too “antagonistic.”)

At the time I noted my surprise since I haven't been hearing any kind of populist-driven anti-business rhetoric coming out of the White House or Congress. And indeed, Kane himself didn't provide any quotes to back up his claim about the supposed big business bashing that Democrats were doing.

But the real confusion comes in the form of a new Politico article, which claims Democrats, and especially Sen. Chuck Schumer, are drowning in Wall Street money. And Dems are positively lapping Republicans in terms of cashing Wall Street checks.

Headline:

Wall Street money rains on Chuck Schumer

Note this passage [emphasis added]:

Of the $10.6 million the [financial] industry has given to sitting senators this year, more than $7.7 million has gone to Democrats.

Maybe Kane and the Post could update the report about that Wall Street “boycott” of the Democratic Party.
