LIVE: Politics Done Right: Brexit may ultimately help Hillary Clinton

Many wondered if the Brexit vote in the UK would have any influence on the presidential election in the United States of America. I think that it will. Many people who simply want to make a protest vote, with the expectation that it would simply be that are likely to rethink their position. Others will be more pragmatic and choose country over party. Yet others will once again acquiesce to the best of two bad choices as they continue building a political revolution that will incorporate a real democracy. The 2016 election will be interesting.

What are your thoughts? Let’s talk. The live show starts at 1:00 PM Eastern/ 12 noon Central

as if George W. Bush in 2000 wasn't enough of a rebuke for Nader voters. You don't encourage that sort of thing.

I think that the UK really blew it, and I think the young people who were under the assumption their vote didn't count and now regret it are morons.

Get off of my lawn!

That said, at least they didn't declare war on the _________.

I think that it's possible that the people who care about this much constitute a small percentage of the electorate.
