Why Brexit Signals a Trump Victory
Real Clear Politics ^ | June 29, 2016 | Edward J. Rollins

Posted on 06/29/2016 8:46:47 AM PDT by Hojczyk

It turns out our country is headed towards its very own Brexit. Just like the voters in the United Kingdom, Americans are fed up with a status quo that ignores their problems and constantly leaves them falling farther behind. A staggering two out of every three Americans believe America is on the wrong track. Now they’re making their voices heard.

Don’t believe me? The facts speak almost as loudly as the millions of Americans who want to make America great again.

One of the things that stunned the so-called experts is the huge turnout that led to Brexit. The same thing happened on this side of the Atlantic during the Republican primary season. An enormous number of people voted for the outsider candidate. The previous record was 10.8 million votes for George W. Bush in 2000 – Trump blew past that record with over 13 million primary votes. In the nine presidential elections I have worked in, I have never seen such voter energy and enthusiasm.

This amazing turnout reflects the simple fact that Donald Trump has broad appeal. Independents in particular are responding to him. Our recent polling in two battleground states shows independents flocking to Trump over Hillary Clinton. In Ohio, independents go for Trump by 19 percentage points. In North Carolina, they prefer him over Clinton by 24 points.

These numbers show just how upset the American people are with the status quo. They don’t want a third term of President Obama’s abysmal economic growth and feckless foreign policy. They want someone who will upend the status quo rather than worsen America’s decline.

The media/establishment are doing their best to demoralize Trump supporters.

Congratulations—You fell for it.

I look at it the other way....Part of Obama’s legacy. One side of the UK is furious that Obama opened his mouth because it brought out the folks who remember their country before the EU took over every facet of their country.

I had an opportunity to meet Ed Rollins in the 1990s, and was very favorably impressed with his character. He seemed that rare being, a true political professional; but one who really cared about the American future. It is very good to see him fully engaged for Donald Trump. He is also--as one would expect--on the mark for what is really essential this time around.

As I have posited with respect to the Trump campaign. We need to focus on one Primary Issue, putting America & Americans "First." That is clearly what the Constitution expects of us. That is clearly what the globalists in Washington have failed to do.

Trump: The Issue.

Just like in England the polls don't make any sense. According to the polls in England they were going to vote to stay in the EU, but they did not. My first question is who is doing the poll? When a liberal pollster takes the poll Hillary is out by double digits and everybody is in love with her. When it's an independent poll they are either tied or Trump is slightly ahead. There is only one poll that matters and that will be in November. All other polls are skewed by the pollsters.

Hillary was irresponsible with this country's national security and all of her secret clearances should be taken away and never allowed to run for public office, and she belongs in prison.

If this country elects her president it will be the end of the USA. But unfortunately we will all be taken down with her.

I sure as hell hope you are right. But look at it this way... Not a single thing anyone has done to Shrillary has had any effect on her.. she rolls right on. Only Zero managed to stop her a little while... think about that.

Very few folks were right since the day Trump announced 6/16/2015. I was one of the few. On the other hand, nearly every single person in the media was wrong, including Limbaugh. All the famous experts, all the pundits, the corrupt lawyer politicians, and all sideline barkers were all 100% wrong about Trump.

Outside of the D.C. disciples of deceit doing something illegal, Trump wins big.
