Brexit reminder
The analysts had that as a landslide to vote no leaving the EU.

And the market crash and such doom and gloom predicted never happened, instead the US market dipped and gained!
You never know what will happen. If you do go to Vegas or something, just don't bet on the Presidential Election!
Totally different. Brexit passed because of voter apathy.
Ah, um, you guys did read about what happened to the value of the British pound this week...?
Yes. But i don't buy that, despite the polls, Trump will win.

Untrue. Polls were tight all the way up to the referendum.

Also untrue. Turnout of 72.2%. Not as big as the Scottish Independence referendum which had a turnout of 84% but bigger than in any General Election of recent times apart from 1992 and bigger than the turnout of 64% for the last EU Referendum in 1975.

At least I come here and express my views and discuss them with others. I will agree that sometimes I don't use the right tone, but I am hardly alone in this. You, on the other hand, add nothing to the conversation. You just comment about me or others on here. So, you are nothing but a clown. Have a nice day. Or have a bad day, I don't care either way.

I have no doubt that you are more familiar with this than us colonists. 😉 I based my comment on how it was reported in the US. The way it was presented was that many did not vote because they were sure it would fail and that others did not understand what the vote meant.
MSM is very giddy about all this sex talk. Still think this race is + /- 4 points. Very close.

No pundit, analyst or poll that I ever heard/saw predicted a landslide. Night after night, month after month all I heard was how tight it was.

Analysts are not always correct. Britain has financial troubles and said they could not support the 26 other countries of the Eurpoean Union, nor have them send refugees to Britain. They exited for their own financial survival. Every country should have their own borders, their own budgets, their own military and security apparatus. The big ones, like Britain, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, France, Germany should form a small bloc if they want to have something like a union of like minded countries that are in close proximity (for trade deals). Called it the European Community or whatever.
