^^^^^^No respect for the voters ? Where have we seen that before ?^^^^^^^
What were the issues the UK voters considered ?
1) controlled borders and immigration
2) economy and trade
3) bureaucrats in Brussels out of touch with the people
What do the crooked Hillary cult sycophants offer ? Economic fear mongering the same thing David Camron used without success.
Have to hand it to Camron though. He was a class act on his loss with his speech compared to Obama and his loss yesterday with SCOTUS. What a pathetic speech Obama gave. What a embarrassment to the USA he is.
Scotland will not leave....who's going to pay for all their welfare Shame what happened to them. They used to be a proud people.
Scotland demanded a vote to leave the UK. We gave it to them. Then they banged the drum, and the polls said, independence for sure. Every Scot asked said they were voting out. Well, they looked at the ballot, and croaked.
Now they want another one for independence, and if they get that, application to join the EU. That will take years. In between, they'll be all on their lonesome. One of their Ministers said before the independence vote, when asked what currency they'll use, said, "well, the pound." Our man in the money house, said, "oh no you won't. Print your own currency." If they get the vote, I hope they go....... us English are fed up of their carping.
Funny to listen to Trump talk about his golf course - he's a whiz/expert on that topic. But when he talked about Brexit - totally clueless on the repercussions to the world, economic markets, American economy.......
I think Nov 9th, he'll be freed up to get back to his golf game and leave running the country to people who know what they're doing.

And who would that be ?
The ones that sold out to foreign leaders and Wall St. for a buck.
The 1% who under Obama have received 95% of all the income in the country sense he's been in office.
Or maybe you want us to believe it's the people who are working two and three part time jobs and making less money than they ever have.
Fear mongering is really all you have and good luck with that. You will need it.
Sorry, no. Your starry eyed view of history is extremely blurred. You kissing this much British ass would have made you a Loyalist back in 1776. We got our independence for a reason, and while the UK is similar to us, we didn't vote our independence from the British Empire; people died for independence. How ironic that it's right-wingers, the "true defenders" of the Constitution, want to get in bed with the British again. But then again, you're also the same people that cry, "To save the Constitution, we have to separate ourselves from it, first". Shame on all of you neo-Confederates. The real anti-Americans are Republicans.
Calling conservatives liberals again, eh? As the public is newly revulsed by the dark underbelly of leftism? Progressives must be feeling self-conscious again.
No, conservatives aren't trying to grab guns. No, conservatives aren't Annise Parker, trying to issue sermon subpoenas, nor Menino, Emanuel, Cuomo, Chick-fil-A, Hobby Lobby. Or campus safe-spaces from free speech. Conservatives aren't stumbling uninvited in Big Government police-state gear through living rooms of every house in Boston's western suburbs. Conservatives aren't oblivious to Western states' rights to manage their own lands.
The progressive-left wants world government and globalism, and vilifies conservatives for simply wanting everybody contented in their own individual nations again.
The Brits were angry because they were losing their jobs to others . They wanted their sovereignty back. Migrants were coming and putting a strain on public services .
Looking forward to conducting some business with the British. I figure by next week if the pound vs. the dollar tracks like it has for the past few hours I can purchase a Aston Martin DB11 for 500 bucks and bag of Jelly Babies. Including floor mats.
Yep the UK economy is trash now. And think the trump supporters think we should do something similar! It's scary how stupid some people are.

The left wants world government by unelected authoritarians overseas, and trade 'agreements' that favor multinationals and China, and cast American workers in the trash heap. Because, you know, Obama and Hillary.
It appears the Brits voted to leave driven by concerns with:
1. Uncontrolled immigration and the jobs these people take from locals,
2. The negative impact of international trade agreements on jobs and the economy, especially for the middle class,
3. A distrust and an anger with the political establishment, who has taken the little people for granted while they feather their own nests and enjoy the high life,
4. The destruction of their countries democratic principles and practices in service of an over-wheening and far-removed centralized state that does not listen to their people or respect their culture.
Until a few hours ago, the loss of the "leave" campaign was regarded by the "experts" and the establishment as all but a done deal, because the entire establishment was all-in behind the "remain" campaign. And then the votes came in.
Fortunately, we have no similar political movement at the highest levels in this country, which is based pretty much around these same driving factors, which is being derided as "dangerous" by the powers that be (As the "leave" campaign in the UK was also. Their "Operation Fear" obviously did not work.) and which is being counted as a certain loser by these same people.
We don't, do we? {sarcasm}
