However, he refused to draw a straight line between British Labor Party leader Jeremy Corbyn and Democratic presidential candidate, Bernie Sanders.

"Obviously I didn't support Jeremy Corbyn ... but he did get elected by the party membership, so it's not as if he's got no support," Blair told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" program. "What there is today are these great insurgent movements around individuals that gather immense momentum, carry people along with them." ...

The elites have not been acting in the best interests of their citizens. So no wonder the people upset and rebellious. It is time to break out the pitch forks and hang pols from street lights.

“unnerving,” translation: “We were always able to foist one of our own on the hoi polloi and that no longer seems to be the case.”

World leaders are rushing in - getting in line for a last feed at the Washington Pig trough.

Everyone from China to Mexico to England and Asia wants their trade deals - ANY deals - made with the crooks running DC now. Washington Elites will GIVE IT ALL AWAY for ‘speeches’ and ‘book deals’... sell out the country. Get in on it while it’s hot cause it’s all going away soon...

Trump is going to put a stop to it...

They better line up with their money bags and 3 or 4 people to listen to 42 minutes ‘SPEECHES’ for a million bucks because the gravy train’s coming to a end. Trump’s NOT going to play stupid.
