It’s not surprising that Donald Trump has been riding the Brexit bandwagon.
In the days before Thursday’s referendum on Britain’s continued membership in the European Union – the results of which have been roiling global markets since the “leave” camp pulled a stunning victory – Trump had been saying that he would vote to leave. He’s not British, so he couldn’t – but that didn’t stop him from claiming his piece of the victory.
On Friday, during a visit to Scotland to inaugurate a newly renovated golf course at the Trump Turnberry Resort, he took to his favorite medium to signal his thoughts:
“Just arrived in Scotland,” he tweeted. “Place is going wild over the vote. They took their country back, just like we will take America back. No games!”(continued)

The MSM is touting new polls in which they have Hillary ahead by 15 points. This obvious lie is a sign of their desperation.
The thought occurs to me that ‘if’ these latest polls are indeed manipulated then when the real numbers emerge in the upcoming weeks and months then the democrats, aka Hillary are going to be in a world of hurt when her numbers crash to below Trumps.
Yep - but note that those polls ran from 21-24 June - they stopped the day that Brexit became widespread news and before Trump's comments (and Obama's comments)....last ditch propaganda and probably with some serious sampling issues.
Perhaps BREXIT success is a sign that Briton was inspired by Trump.
TRiUMPh
Making AMERICA Great again,
By making AMERICA strong again
By making AMERICA safe again
By Making AMERICA prosperous again
by making AMERICA and ALL AMERICANS first priority again
By making AMERICA whole again under one God, one flag and one Constitution
And THIS is what Trump wants for America? /s
Anyone with these crazy ideas would be 15 points behind in the polls. /s

Great point. I never have had much faith in polls as they can very easily be manipulated, falsely reported and just plain BS. Lets see what happens in the coming days.
I have serious doubts that negative ads coming from the Clinton Camp will affect the electorate. Crocked Hillary has zero credibility.
“This is the MSM being complicit with the GOPe RINOs to try to knock Trump out of the race and replace him with a stoolie of their own at the GOP convention held in a few weeks. A last hard court press of lies. It’s what they do best. Don’t let them rile you all up. They’!! have to eat their polls after the GOP convention takes place. Trump will handle this in his own inimitable fashion.”
I am concerned about the polls, that's a large spread. I recall in 2012 how there were daily threads showing that Romney was under water and everyone here would chime in "Nobody likes Obama, that poll is fake!" and "Registered voters not likely, oversampled dems, look at the source, etc.... that poll is fake!" Every poll was wrong and fake until the election when it turned out they were right.
This election is perhaps the most important in my lifetime and we cannot take it for granted.
Trump has campaigned in states like Cali that are not exactly Trump friendly. Everywhere he goes he finds a crowd of fans. Even Scotland.
Gleeaiken, if your question isn’t facetious, I can explain why youth vote socialist having raised a child in the educational establishment from age 3-21. In every subject and textbook, ideology is pounded into their brains. If they don’t have alert, inexhaustible parents to deprogram them daily, they end up both unable to reason logically nor have perspective over their own brainwashed minds. It was exhausting getting a child through the system in this end stage Progressive American school system. Even if you home school, the culture these kids are steeped in is full of sly or not so sly propaganda.
And it did not get this bad only recently. I myself graduated from one of the best public schools in the 60’s primed to vote socialist after a year in college. It was only by chance I was pointed to a novel by Ayn Rand that started me down a decades long path of self-deprogramming!
No, my question isn’t facetious. Primary elections were just held in Washington, DC where almost everyone votes Democrat. I knew that Hillary would probably win the Dem primary, but 80% to 20%?? I guess not all those lower income folks believe that Socialism, even of the mild Scandinavian variety is what they want.
Regarding the effect of education, my sons grew up in a major urban inner city area. My older son who has 20 years in 82nd Airborne and Special Forces graduated from the best public school in the city and did 3 years of ROTC which enabled him to enlist as a PFC rather than 3rd class. We had lively discussions on politics and world affairs but I don’t think my husband and I tried to indoctrinate in one way or another. Of course not every mother gives her son Machiavelli’s The Prince when he is 14. I have never asked him how he votes, but his views tend to sound Libertarian. He fought in Gulf War I and has done 2 tours in Afghanistan—06 and 13. When Bush was moving toward war in Iraq with invasion in March 03, about 3 months earlier, when Shinsecki was catching heck for saying we should have at least 300,000 I asked him based on his Iraq experience how many we should send in. He said 450,000. Bush went in with 170,000 and his special administrator Bremmer(sp?) after he finished out a year said 500,000. At any rate I don’t know if it was us or the schools or both, but I think my son has a pretty level head on his shoulders.
