Donald Trump’s Brexit bump won’t last

As for Trump, the Brexit buzz will be long gone by September or October, when the US presidential race is finally in high gear. Anybody hearing Trump praise Brexit will wonder why he’s endorsing a policy that promptly turned a strong economy into a weak one. This will give Hillary Clinton, Trump’s likely Democratic opponent, plenty of opportunity to bash Trump’s “America first” agenda, if she can square her own shifting views on trade. At a minimum, Brexit could end up being something Trump would rather not talk about.

Other than self-congratulations, there' no indication that Trump has benefited from this.

The vote may happen and then a transition and to get into the EU. They'd have to meet the requirements. I say 10 years if it happens at all.

Scotland and Ireland may be able to give a billion each year to replace the UK.

18. This is what the news people do in presidential election years

every thing that happens will be related to that so interesting race. The effects on it. Declarations that it is over for one side or the other because of some unrelated happening. Very insulting to voters. Like we change our minds on whims.
