Five reasons Brexit could signal Trump winning the White House
The British Boadasting Corporation ^ | June 19, 2016 | Katty Kay, Presenter

The two most surprising political phenomena of this year have been the rise of Donald Trump and the success of the Leave Europe camp in Britain's referendum on Brexit.

Few pundits saw either coming (and full disclosure, I include myself here, particularly on Trump) - but we should have and now would be a good chance to make up for past oversight by looking at how the two are linked.

Next week, polls suggest, Britain may pull out of the European Union. Opinion polls currently have the 23 June referendum too close to call but the Brexit camp (those in favour of the UK splitting from the EU) has been inching ahead in recent weeks.

Later this year, Americans will decide whether to elect Donald Trump as the 45th US President, or Hillary Clinton....

Brexit will fail because people want gravy train for some more time.

I have said before, brexit means Trump wins. It’s a GLOBALIST purge, same thing that expelled Cantor and cruise.

Just looked at the polling, the effing Brits are as screwed up as we are. Right now it’s a tie at 44%/44% with 11% undecided and the electionis next week.

Excellent, must watch video on Brexit. The first few minutes are dry, the rest is captivating.

Won’t the NWO plans get fouled up if the EU breaks up? If that is true, and I think it is, then it seems your suspicions are probably correct.

How does the EU equate to the “gravy train” for the average Brit?

Why would the gravy train derail if Britain left the EU?

Cameron and his cohorts have run the greatest, most dishonest scare campaign in history. If you listened to them, the world would come to an end the day after an exit vote.

This short statement by Jacob Rees Mogg at an Oxford Union debate some time ago is the best reasoning I have heard on the absolute necessity to exit -

Immigration deserves its own category because it is so critical in both campaigns. Economists argue about the relative impact of immigrants versus robots on wage stagnation - voters don't care much.

They blame immigrants. It's easier to get mad at a person from Macedonia or Mexico, taking your job than it is to get mad at a piece of technology from Silicon Valley. In both countries, governments haven't handled immigration well.

What about the government evicting their own citizens from their home to give it to an immigrant?

If a socialist government alienates the welfare class what hope have they got?

How stupid can they be? They expect their citizens to swallow the Leftist Kool Aide when the government stooges are kicking them to the streets?

Sorry, I don’t see how a foreign election has any baring on ours, “people are mad”, well yeah sure but mad Brits can’t vote in our election and dead Chicagoans and illegal aliens can.

And tonight I’ll decide if I have left over steak or a Jimmy Dean sausage biscuit for breakfast tomorrow.

Not sure if there’s a link between the two but it be assumed somewhere somebody will find that link.

My thoughts exactly, an ordered hit esp. when the news media gleefully reported the perp read the Turner Diaries.

“Didn’t Barry recently go over there and tell them to vote no.”

Barry has been spectacular at picking the losing side. I hope he has picked the loser here as well. The EU is the Soviet Union with none of the charm.

If Hillary steals the election, and she will, should we then have a vote to join the British Union and dump our entire bloated government and have Princess Kate Middleton be our titular head of state.

She is the UnHillary.

It is happening all over the world. The Philippines just elected their version of “The Donald.”
