Wall Street has thrown its weight behind Hillary Clinton. Some of the biggest names in the U.S. right-wing establishment have also expressed support for her. Another neocon added his name to the pro-Clinton list on Thursday. James Kirchick penned an op-ed in The Daily Beast titled “Hillary Clinton Is 2016’s Real Conservative—Not Donald Trump.” On the other side, Kirchick pillories self-declared democratic socialist Bernie Sanders, hysterically accusing him of helping Trump and “risk[ing] the country’s future.” Clinton is “the clear conservative choice,” he maintains, the only one who can preserve the status quo.
