There’s an economic anxiety in this country that we’ve got to address.”

The Democratic candidate who prides herself on being a wonk — one who embraces policy details, compared to her opponent whom she paints as a self-congratulating empty suit — notably steered clear Friday of the gritty details of what Britain’s stunning exit from the European Union means for the economy, or for her centrist, establishment campaign.

One needs look no further than the Sanders campaign to see this, but judging from
the Democratic Convention platform committee's work I don't expect this is happening.

She should. But she'll let Trump own that argument. And even if she wins it'll kill any coattails she might have.

to the millions left behind after the Wall Street robbery,then I can only hope for the best. If it was not for the Sun Newspaper(owned be Ruppert Murdoch)and their lies,Britain today would still be in the EU. Now,watch how Murdoch and his Media Whore Friends,do the same thing here in the USA.
