Hill'd Better Pray for Brexit Backlash

Weekend's almost here, Friends.

Much to everyone's complete surprise, angry white Britons upset the establishment and pundits and voted for Britain to exit the European Union.

We never wanted your crappy money. What's a bloody Euro, anyway?
You wankers can stay on the other side of the Channel!

Fast forward.

Much to everyone's complete surprise, angry white voters upset the establishment and pundits and elected Donald Trump President of the United States.

This what is staring at Hillary and the Democratic establishment this morning.

There is an underestimated nationalistic and xenophobic outrage sweeping through the western world and yesterday it took down its first big target.

Establishment politicians are in denial over the trend, but that denial has consequences. It brought down likes of British Prime Minister David Cameron, who staked his political fortunes on the status quo and has hence resigned.

This rising international white rage against the establishment faces off in November against Hillary Clinton, the quintessential establishment candidate.

I have to believe the 'Brexit' vote has to be a YUGE wake up call for her and the blue party.

The question is, can Hillary Clinton be reinvented as anything other than 'the same old same old' to a world demanding disruption?

That answer is a resounding NO.

What's left to the Dems, then, are several unpleasant options.  One, simply stay the course, whistle past the graveyard, and pray for a victory. Two, face up to the wave of populism and nominate a candidate who resonates with it, like Bernie Sanders. Or three, acknowledge the collective rage but fatalistically stick with Hillary to a Brexit-like result.

I predict, short of her federal indictment, the party will absolutely stick with Hillary Clinton.

Further, since no one yet has predicted how formidable a force the international wave of white populism has been, we will continue to underestimate it.

Perhaps white rage will turn out to be less of a factor in our multi-racial country. .

From my perspective, however, unless something unforeseen happens (and it probably will in this crazy race), the stars bode poorly for Hillary.
