I'm right: how Brexit became partisan banter for US politicians

Donald Trump, who has defied the political establishment, riding a populist wave to the top of the Republican ticket, hailed the referendum decision as a “great victory” and commended Britain for rejecting what he called the “global elite” in the US and around the world.

"People want to take their country back. They want to have independence in a sense.” He later sent a fundraising email to supporters with the subject line making the comparison even more explicit. “These voters stood up for their nation – they put the United Kingdom first, and they took their country back,” Trump said of the Brexit vote. “With your help, we’re going to do the exact same thing on Election Day 2016 here in the United States of America.”

Former presidential candidate, Republican senator Ted Cruz said: “The results of the ‪#‎Brexit‬ referendum should serve as a wake-up call for internationalist bureaucrats from Brussels to Washington DC that some free nations still wish to preserve their national sovereignty,” Cruz said.

“We see it in Europe and around the world,” Biden said during a speech Trinity College in Dublin. “And we see it today in the United States, where some politicians find it convenient to scapegoat immigrants instead of welcoming them, play to our fears rather than appeal to our better natures, divide us based on religion or ethnicity rather than unite us in our common humanity, and build walls between nations when we should be building bridges among us.”

Donald certainly knows the right words to use - sometimes. He even has Ted Cruz and Newt using language that must amaze themselves.
