Essaye was referring to the continued surge in the polls for self-described Democratic socialist Bernie Sanders.<\/p>\n<p>The 78-year-old champion of Medicare for All and wealth taxes has stayed true to his anti-big business roots throughout the campaign. While the market has continued to shrug off Sanders\u2019 recent surge in the polls, it has no doubt raised concerns among countless investors (even if they aren\u2019t unloading stocks yet) that have enjoyed a generally favorable backdrop under Trump. A Sanders presidency could be the complete opposite of Trump\u2019s in terms of regulation and taxes, experts opine.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe market wants Trump to stay president because he is the most shareholder friendly,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"caas-figure\">\n<div class=\"caas-img-container caas-img-loader\" style=\"padding-bottom:67%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"caas-img caas-lazy has-preview\" alt=\"Democratic presidential candidate Sen.

(AP Photo\/Andrew Harnik)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>JPMorgan strategist Jesse Edgerton correctly points out that even if Sanders were to become president, his more socialist-leaning policies are far from a lock to be enacted given the system of checks and balances. \u201cMost notably, passing even remotely controversial fiscal policies would almost certainty require Democratic control of both the House and the Senate,\u201d writes Edgerton.<\/p>\n<p>The strategist assigns a less than 10% probability Sanders or rival Elizabeth Warren become president and the Democrats control both the House and Senate. So somewhat soothing news for investors, in the near-term.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt thus seems unlikely for all of these stars to align at once \u2014 a Sanders\/Warren nomination, a Democratic presidential and congressional sweep, and an upswell of support around currently controversial policies. We put the probability of dramatic policy changes like this at less than 5%,\u201d concludes Edgerton.<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"link rapid-noclick-resp caas-button collapse-button\" aria-label=\"\" title=\"\" data-ylk=\"g:d7ce6c59-850d-325c-96a8-2a8fc2cc8cf9;elm:readmore;slk:Story continues\">Story continues<\/button><\/p>\n<p>The wildcard, Essaye thinks: Democratic presidential nominee hopeful Michael Bloomberg.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Bloomberg comes in, I think that politics really starts to impact the markets.
