The Economist rates Trump presidency among its top 10 global risks – POLITICO

Wow, the establishment fears Trump instead of planned coronation of establishment pick, Hillary. You don't say. Shocked.

Another rag scared to death that the corrupt party system it has invested in will soon come to an end.

“I don’t watch the news,” Kasich told Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday. “I basically watch the Golf Channel when I’m traveling, believe it or not.”

Perhaps close enough?

Define "premier". Facts to back up it's accuracy and non-bias?

And they are giving "statistics" on "impact"? What criteria do they use to back up these claims?

From the Wiki article about this publication:

The Economist claims that it "is not a chronicle of economics."[14] Rather, it aims "to take part in a severe contest between intelligence, which presses forward, and an unworthy, timid ignorance obstructing our progress."[15] It takes an editorial stance of classical and economic liberalism which is supportive of free trade, globalisation, free immigration and cultural liberalism

Sounds pretty much like establishment globalist views to me. Which if you are for that, then OK, otherwise call it for what it is, another biased opinion hit piece. Did they come out with a Hillary "impact" in declaring war on some small country, like Hillary likes to do?
