I think Hillary opposing Brexit is going to make her look good in the long run.

I saw another thread in GD:2016 saying that Brexit is "Not good news for Hillary." Well its not good news for anyone, but I think it will prove her to have better judgement when it comes to the economy. Think about it. Hillary's opponent supported a decision that destroyed the UK's economy and nearly wrecked the stock market, while Hillary opposed it.

4. All I can see is the uncertainty that is sinking the market...here.

we have a Global economy run by global companies, corporations interdependent on each other. Time will tell, right now its up in the air until the dust settles.

5. I don't think anyone with sense thinks Brexit is a good thing....

the more problems the people in GB have to deal with because of it, the worse Trump will look. Not just because he thinks it's great but because it IS him. Brexit is Trumpism and it's going to haunt him all the way to November.

I can't see a downside for Hillary unless she was heavily invested in European markets.

6. Let's see

Brexit was supported by old people (who as John Fugelsang said this morning, won't REALLY have to deal with the long-term impacts of the decision because ... well ... chances are they will die in the next 10 years) Younger Brits wanted to stay in the EU.

The main argument for Brexit presented to the British people apparently wasn't even true (something about money going currently to EU instead to I think the British health system) http://trofire.com/2016/06/24/leader-leave-camp-brexit-admits-hours-vote-large-part-campaign-complete-lie/

And David Cameron is jumping ship rather than deal with the aftermath.

7. Vox put up a good article this morning…

I found it a bit heartbreaking.

Brexit is a middle finger from the baby boomers to young people like me
by Jack Lennard on June 24, 2016

The United Kingdom has voted to leave the European Union, 52 percent to 48 percent.

“I am broken by this result. As a young person, I cannot help but feel betrayed. In fact, it’s somewhat hard not to take it a little bit personally.

Let’s look at the voter demographics. The "Leave" vote was overwhelmingly carried by those over the age of 65, whereas according to pre-vote polling, 72 percent of those who were aged 18 to 24 favored "Remain." Why does this matter? Surely, in a referendum, every vote is equal, and the will of the people carries regardless of the demographic?”

Well, there is some truth to that. But that doesn’t mean every UK voter will suffer the same consequences.

The process of the UK leaving the European Union would not be complete until late 2018 at the very earliest, assuming Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty is triggered when a new prime minister is appointed in the autumn of this year. Even then, that’s just the basic settlement — trade deals and movement regulations could take decades to hammer out.

My generation will not enjoy the free movement to 27 different countries and the workers’ rights that rescued Britain from the "sick man of Europe" era of the 1970s…”
