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.

Thank you as always, dear Ablion.

My computer is trying to fry itself to death and I can’t stay on long or it starts self-immolating...

I will find someone who can fix it and will be back!

How many armed poll watchers were needed in 1980?

Watch all you want the votes are tabulated off site with computers that you have absolute no control over, before, during or after.

I am and have been pointing out often that the last election revealed that one of two things were true.

(1)The voting public has moved hard left and now dominate the elections by virtue of numbers.
(2) Voter fraud is now so sophisticated we can't really detect it.

Neither of those are easily repaired especially when we have a population that trusts the election process, of which I am not one.

She doesn’t have a huge lead. She has a lead. And there are many instances where polls ahem missed the actual vote by a country mile! Plus, I don’t believe any polls where the MSM is involved as they have a history of over sampling Dems.

“A staggering two out of every three Americans believe America is on the wrong track.”

That means that one out of three is either too young to know or brain dead.

“.. there are TONS of people who just Love Zero... and want nothing more than a 3rd term for him..”

Anyone stupid enough to vote for him in 2008 is most likely too stupid to learn from his mistake. Anyone stupid enough to vote for him in 2012 is too stupid to tie his own shoes.

Well then my FRiend, if our Obamunist-Clintonista masters try to steal this election coming up, they're going to have a damn bloody revolution on their hands, and the 'RATS, leftists and libtards are going to get what they've been braying for over the past 40+ years.

If the good people of Romania were able to topple their vile dictators Nikolai and Elena Ceausescu in December '89 without the benefit of the millions upon millions of firearms that We The People of the United States have in our hands, then so can we. We will put the words of Thomas Jefferson into action:

"The Tree of Liberty must periodically be watered with the blood of patriots and tyrants".

So be it. What more can they do to me (or us), kill us?

Everybody's got to die sooner or later, better to die FOR our Country, than for nothing.

(pinging one of my finest FRiends and one of the great unsung patriots of FR, the inimitable NFHale).

I don’t think either wanted to win..... McVain was too scared to land any blows, terrified that someone might call him a racist if he dared to criticize Obozo or spotlight his sordid past.

One great thing Trump has done is to show what it’s like to have a Republican candidate who is able and willing to FIGHT!!

It's like clockwork: whoever loses politically insults the American people.

If we win, libs sneer at the stupidity of Americans. (That's all they do now is castigate the intelligence of Trump and his supporters.) Similarly if we lose, then our side snaps on Americans.

The meme that Americans are stupid is not true. Americans will choose well when the case is made well. Our side, and by that I mean the GOP, has not even made the case – for years.

Meanwhile, yes, libs have had a run, because they fight. But they're provably wrong about everything – which is why globally, that tide is turning. Exhibit A: Brexit.

Our side will win again, and the left will dump on Americans every minute of every day and twice on Thursdays.

I refuse. You go ahead, though.

I appreciate that, my friend...

“...Nikolai and Elena Ceausescu ...”

Ahh, the Ceaucescu Protocol. I remember it well. A fine day for people throwing off the yoke of communist thugs.

It must have felt similar for our parents’ generation when Mussolini and his squeeze Clara Petaci were last seen.... “hanging around”... in Piazali Loreto, Milan.

One wonders....

Squad works for me.

(Is a squad too small to handle one of the old Davey Crockett M-28 / M-388 nuclear battlefield recoiless guns? NOT that I have one of course, but 'just in case' we should run across some old stuff from a long forgotten Army Surplus Store ... ;-)

To Nigel Farage... if you chance by and read FR, or if any of our UK brethern can forward it:

"...Upon this battle depends the survival of Christian civilisation. Upon it depends our own British life, and the long continuity of our institutions and our Empire. The whole fury and might of the enemy must very soon be turned on us. Hitler knows that he will have to break us in this island or lose the war. If we can stand up to him, all Europe may be freed and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands.

But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new dark age made more sinister, and perhaps more protracted, by the lights of perverted science. Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves, that if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, This was their finest hour..."

-Winston Churchill

Mr. Farage - Remember WHO YOU ARE... remember WHO YOU COME FROM... remember your Ancestors.

Good on you.
