Although Hillary is up, in the polls,

we can't be complacent. A year ago the thought of Donald T Rump being the Pub nominee was 'inconceivable', but he is. We just assumed there weren't that many stupid people(R), but there are. Now, after the British 'exit' actually happening, there is a warning for us. As always, stupid people in large groups can cause serious damage. Just look at GW, with his reign of error(R), and now the rise of T Rump.

“Anyone with half a brain understood that ‘Brexit’ was an utterly foolish choice from virtually every rational perspective.  Thus it seemed virtually inconceivable to rational folks (who make up the vast majority of the “establishment”) that there were enough gullible and ignorant ‘rubes’ amongst the British electorate who would actually end up voting for such transparent insanity.”

But they did, and it could happen here. 

In short, there are a lot more stupid, gullible, paranoid and semi-literate voters out there (both in Britain and the U.S.) than most of us care to even contemplate, much less acknowledge.  And guided solely by their tribal and limbic instincts, they will enthusiastically vote to cut off their own noses to spite their faces, regardless of what the real world consequences, however dire, may be for them, their insular, ignorant worldview and their country.
