Billionaire investor and CEO Warren Buffett, who is supporting Hillary Clinton in 2016, suggested today that Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) should tone down her crusade against Wall Street:

I think that she would do better if she was less angry and demonizing.... I think the whole nature of governing — particularly when you've got a divided government like we have now — is that you end up with bills that each side doesn't like but they like it better than doing nothing. I mean, that's the way that government has to function. And it does not help when you demonize... the people you're talking to. [Business Insider]
