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 real signal that a Trump victory is in the cards, is the way we are seeing the presstitute media saying it is a neck and necak race with Klintoon - this is typical media desparation in pre programming a defeat with disinformation.

I hope President Trump fills the jails with ex Dems and CINOs fleeing the sinking ship of the corrupt state they infested.

Oh, I think the polls are entirely accurate in that they reflect the opinions of the people polled. The toy surprise inside of course is the MAKEUP of the poll population. If you pick the right people to poll, you get the right results.


In the end, as the conventions pass and as Trump actually begins spending money on ads, I think the polls might start to slightly better reflect reality, but some of the pollsters will still be trying manipulating poll populations to reflect the desired outcome (which is to say, Hillary is greatest and nobody ever heard of that Trump guy)

How many armed poll watchers were needed in 1980?

How many do you think will be out there watching this time?

I say PLENTY of 'em.

Seriously.

And Sanders had the entirety of the DNC working against him from the first day.

His voters, say what you want about them, have fought like bastards for their guy, and DNC aside, would have won it for him in a fair fight.

For our side to mope around because of a poll here or there, is testament to the laziness of people on the right. That we love to shoot off our mouths about how tough we are, but would rather sit on our butts and wait for a poll to tell us how to feel.

Look at all the dirt that they throw at her... what has it done? not a damn thing!!

They are throwing dirt on Hillary Clinton? Really? Interesting term you just used. Is Trump doing that too?

It seems you're implying it's all simply fabricated and nothing more than childish political mud slinging against Hillary.

Hillary Clinton comes fully equipped with her own dirt created by her own actions or lack of. The dirt was created by Hillary Clinton herself.

Remember that Huey Long thought he was destined for the White House too, until that fateful day that he encountered a mad doctor who had other ideas.

nope... but not going to stick my finger in my ears and pretend reality doesnt exist. Zero got elected TWICE

I just pray that the American people have awaken from their slumber....and don’t make the same mistake again. However, you have so many that are in the “gimme line” I can’t help but hold my breath.

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

As they have all through the primaries. The results speak for themselves. We’ve been inoculated.
