Another Brexit in the making?

Not inconsequential to her impending victory is the active support of the incumbent Barack Obama whose partisanship as head of State gives rise to ethical questions, and of course the mainstream media, Fox excepted, whose position is so biased in favour of Clinton that even with all of the above against her, the media houses virtually ignore Clinton’s indiscretions and, instead, focus on those associated with Republican candidate Donald Trump with a barefacedness which belies the objectivity of the media, and the American media at that.

And added to all this is the fact the Republican top brass no doubt is still smarting from the licking they got from Trump in the primaries and, lacking the character of supporting the ticket despite their loss, would seek to satisfy their petty ambitions of striving for a place in the Senate even as they neglect Trump, and further, even court Trump’s loss at the polls which would facilitate their ambitions for the presidency in 2020 with Trump out of the way.

So how can Trump win in the face of all this? More so, he makes it easier for the opposition, for Clinton’s void in terms of having a winning message for the American people continues to be compensated for by the sustained effort — likely manipulated by the Democrats considering the number of never-before-seen women now willing to testify — to make him look like a sexual predator, and this together with his numerous faux pas and often instinctual responses to issues go a long way in alienating many voters.

But even with that, Trump is seen as an agent of change and that is an extremely attractive proposition for many American voters who see Clinton as the Establishment candidate who will simply continue many of the failed Obama policies.

His 100-day plan from his speech at Gettysburg involving controlled immigration and secure borders, draining the swamp that is Washington with term limits for politicians and lobbyists, more jobs with revised trade policies, combating Islamic terrorism and eliminating IS, inter alia, is music to the ears of everyday Americans, and who knows that with all the predictions that this race is over in favour of Clinton, is there another Brexit in the making?
