My Staggeringly Hot Take on What the Brexit Means for the US Election

Source: The Resurgent | June 24, 2016 | Erick Erickson

The United Kingdom has voted to leave the European Union. It is a seismic global event. Markets are going to be extremely volatile today. The other thing that will be extremely volatile are the amazingly hot takes on ways this vote in the United Kingdom will impact or shape the American Presidential election. It won’t. Not everything is about us, our election, and Donald Trump.

….

There are a few things worth noting, though, that do relate to the United States.

First, the British have just voted for the conservative concept that the government that governs closest to the people governs best…..

Second, the trust of Washington in this country is actually greater than the trust of the EU in Great Britain. ….. The anger of Trump voters is actually not as widespread in this country as anti-EU anger is in Great Britain.

Third, the polling actually got it basically right. It was an exceedingly close vote and the polling reflected that. For all the people drafting hot takes that the Brexit win means Trump can win should note that the polling in Britain was as close as the actual outcome. In this country, Trump has been below 40% in just about every major poll of late and has trailed Hillary Clinton by at least five points in the polling average for the last several weeks.

Fourth, the Remain camp lost through amazing negativity. They had no positive vision to sell……

Fifth, the snide elites that Britain has just rejected will become even more snide. They will claim Britain has lost its mind instead of recovering it. They will work to punish the British for doing the right thing.

Sixth, can we start a Texas independence move now?
