Almost identical issues confront both electorates: Trade, Immigration, and the demand for a representative political voice that looks out for their best interest. The EU is essentially a bureaucratic open-border political system, where they consider themselves the enlightened ones – and the citizenry of the various EU nations represent pawns to be governed by the elitists’ magnanimity.

You can just as easily transpose the mind-set within Brussels as an overlay of the same disconnected political outlook seen in Washington DC. Two bureaucracies governing despite the will of the electorate, not on their behalf.

And make no mistake in the analogy, the overarching globalist views of the political elites within the EU and within Washington DC are essentially the same.

The uprising against this political outlook cuts across both parties in the U.S. just like it did within the U.K.

Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump supporters have a commonality in the identification of the problem, the divergence is within the solution. When this aspect is understood, we begin to see the possibility of, and attraction to, cross-party voters who support Donald Trump.

The Political Elites & Corporate Media in both Nations are Tone Deaf to the Citizens.
You Lose the Bet on Brexit.

These are very interesting days, more exciting that I anticipated. I never thought that there were enough 'stupid people' to vote in Trump. I now know I may be wrong. Sorry if I offend anyone if I have been the stupid one.

If the Brexit is successful short term, this would be a huuger boost for Trump!
