The thought he would falter. But Trump does not falter. Trump continues to rise in the polls. He's even winning in Florida (http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2016/president/fl/florida_republican_presidential_primary-3555.html), where his support is more than Bush's and Rubio's added together, and they're both from Florida!
NEW YORK Wall Street is growing increasingly terrified that Donald Trump once viewed as an amusing summertime distraction could actually win the Republican nomination for president.
The real estate billionaire, who took another populist shot on Sunday by ripping into lavish executive pay, continues to rise in the polls. Would-be Wall Street saviors like Jeb Bush are languishing in single digits. The belief that Trump's candidacy would quickly fade is now evaporating in a wave of fear.

"Evaporating in a wave of fear." Can you visualize it?
The latest frightening broadside for the Wall Street class came on Sunday when Trump said on CBS's "Face the Nation" that executive pay in America is "a complete joke" and promised to raise taxes on "the hedge fund guys." In a statement sent to POLITICO on Monday from his campaign, Trump relished in the attacks from Wall Street, singling out both Bush and Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, another favorite on Wall Street.
"Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton will continue to let Wall Street and the 'hedge fund guys' rip off the people by paying no or very little in taxes," Trump said. "They have total and complete control of Hillary, Jeb and others running. My campaign is self-funded. The only people that have control of me are the people of the United States."
So far there is no organized effort on Wall Street to mount a "stop Trump" campaign.
Mostly such efforts entail funneling even more money to Bush, whose super PAC, Right to Rise, raised more than $100 million through the first six months of the year. To a lesser extent, Wall Street money continues to flow to Rubio, Ohio Gov. John Kasich and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, though Walker is largely viewed as increasingly marginalized in the race.
