Republican Marco Rubio winning Wall Street fundraising race
Republican Marco Rubio's presidential run has drawn more money from Wall Street donors than any other candidate, according to a Reuters review of campaign finance disclosures, shoring up his position as his party's establishment alternative to front-runner Donald Trump.
The U.S. senator from Florida has received more than $4 million from the employees of banks and investment firms like Bank of America Corp (BAC.N), Deutsche Bank (DBKGn.DE) and Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS.N) since launching his bid for the presidency last year, according to the analysis of individual donations totaling more than $200 each.

Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, who dropped out of the race on Saturday after poor finishes in the early nominating contests of Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina, came in second in Wall Street donations, accumulating $2.45 million in contributions, while Democratic hopeful Hillary Clinton took third place with $723,361, according to the review.

Maybe its time for a "cankles-type" anti-establishment speech?

Good for Rubio. Money helps and he isn't a rich man. I think he has the best opportunity to go home with all the marbles.

Sanders, who has blamed the financial crisis on Wall Street and has promised to break up big banks, raised $26,650 from bank employees since launching his bid, a tiny fraction of the $96 million he has raised from all sources.
Trump, a billionaire businessman who is self-funding his campaign, raised only $1,566 from employees of banks. Most of Trump's fundraising has come in the form of selling merchandise on his website.

Haven't we been through that?

So what they can donate money to whoever they like. And the reality is takes money and lots of it to run for President.
