Regardless of what you think of Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric, and his uncompromising talk of walls and bans, does anybody really doubt after this shock Brexit result that he’s right about the levels of anger?
It may not be obvious to the political and media elites living in their hallowed, protected homes in privileged areas.
But travel to the north of England, or to the middle of America, and you will find very real fury with government and very real concern over the impact of perceived immigration control failures.
There’s an increasing large gulf between the politically correct ‘cool’ and ‘establishment’ crowd who view any publicly stated concern about border controls as ‘racism’, and those who have to live at the sharp end of it.
The clear message from this sensational day for any politician or world leader is this: ignore the concerns of the people at your peril.
Britain’s Prime Minister Cameron assumed, arrogantly and patronisingly, that he would win this referendum by relying on the tried and tested vote-winning issue of the economy.
But he seriously misjudged the mood of the nation.
In fact, it was immigration and ‘getting our country back’ which won it for the Brexiters.
Donald Trump is currently behind Hillary Clinton in most presidency polls, betting odds and Wall Street opinion – but so was the Leave camp for much of the EU campaign.
What none of the UK pollsters, bookmakers and city experts realised was there was a huge groundswell of anger which was going to tip the balance away from their presumed favourite.
I don’t endorse Trump for president, not least because of his stance on guns.
But this bombshell Brexit result should send a shudder down the spine of Hillary Clinton and all U.S. Democrats.
If it can happen in Britain, it can most definitely happen in America.
$22 million for speeches in 2 years, $153 million for speeches over 14 years...?
A single jacket for $26,000...?!??!!
HOPE SHE KEEPS IT UP..!!
I LOVE my country.
I FEAR my Federal government.
I spent 20+ years serving in the USA military, so the above statement is not made lightly.
She ought to be shaking in her jail cell...working for you there...making license plates.
Fat cankles make this difficult, but yeah...
HIllaryous Rotten Criminal ought to be shaking on the way to the gallows.
1/2 of the greatest crime couple in the history of the republic is a useless eater.
Broken clock, etc.
There is a level of anger that is busting through the seams. The elite, republicans and democrats alike, are ignoring that sentiment.
Note: I got called by a pollster today. To him, I'm a likely voter who is VERY enthusiastic about hillary (snort). Count one poll skewed.
And the pressure on the bamster for an early pardon must be excruciating.
The most disturbing fact is that Hillary is ahead in the polls. Hillary has so much baggage that the Airline Workers of America are contemplating a strike. Trump should be able to trounce her. She is singularly the worst person to ever head a major presidential ticket. Oddly enough, number two is Bill Clinton. Chelsea must be so proud.

Well done Great Britten!! I am so happy for you. American politicians know this, the Brits are angry. Americans are FURIOUS with our illegal unconstitutional federal government. Note to Dim’s in Congress, please continue your sit-ins. My Liberty and Wallet are far safer when congress cannot do anything.
So help me God!
That’s an awesome chart.
Not sure what’s up with the “Internet” category. Maybe it’s a Facebook thing.
This is why Voter Turn-out matters.
People are not likely to change their opinion on any one of these issues.
Piers has a perfectly punchable face ... even if I agree with him at the time
Probably that happened to him a lot in the 7th grade. It damaged him psychologically. Those mental scars still figure in his behavior and manner.
If the pollsters didn’t know (which I sincerely doubt) then they’re not worth a crap.
