Typically, Bill Maher begins his weekly Real Time show on HBO by telling his audience, “I know why you’re happy tonight” and then mentioning some positive news story that happened that week. This week, on the heels of the United Kingdom’s vote to “Brexit” the European Union, the host went with, “I guess you don’t have any money in the stock market.”

“The issue got hijacked by a bunch of anti-immigration isolationists who were obsessed with the idea that foreigners are stealing their jobs,” Maher said of the world-changing referendum. “Thank god something like that could never happen here.”

The point Maher was making, and would continue to push for the rest of his show, is that if the UK could be blindsided by its own people’s decision to “leave” then the same thing could happen here in America with Donald Trump.

Margaret Thatcher became Prime Minister the year before Ronald Reagan was elected. Harbinger.

I know a few Obama voters that are horrified with the Syrian refugee issue. They will not vote Democrat ever again.

Most polls double digit oversample D’s... That is why Clinton ‘leads’

He’s right. The Brits telling EU globalists to stuff their mentally disturbed immigration policies makes it easier to do the same thing here in the US.

“...if the UK could be blindsided by its own people’s decision to “leave”...”

Interesting turn of phrase. The UK was not blindsided. Perhaps the ruling class of the UK was blindsided. It is the author’s blindness that the ruling class IS the UK.

The effing globalist elites knew they were gonna get their a$$es kicked by brexit, but tried desperately to hide it.

Those effing pukes know Trump will win and are trying to use the same anti-brexit propaganda and polling against him.

I don't get it either. All I see is a smarmy little liberal who face I'd love to use as a punching bag and I'm not the violent type. Some people just have that effect on others I suppose.

I wouldn't have to punch it very long. Just until that smarmy snarky look went away. How long that would take would be entirely up to him. It's just a fantasy anyway.

“Elites” on both sides of the pond lost billions of dollars...

I laughed - and enjoyed their misery.

Just like when global elites laugh at us as we lament the loss of our jobs and communities. I hope they lose billions more...billions over many years.

Then I recanted - and looked for the world's smallest violin to play a song for their pity party and couldn’t find it. Oh well... happens.
