Fox Business Network host Stuart Varney noted on Thursday that Donald Trump’s path to the presidency could be very similar to how Britain voted to leave the European Union: the establishment got it wrong.
Appearing on “Fox & Friends,” Varney said, “Brexit was the vote, do we stay in Europe or do we leave for the British? Now everybody in the establishment for Britain said, ‘Oh, we got to stay.’ Government, business, academics, media, universally the establishment said, ‘We got to stay.’ They voted to leave.”
“And the polls were wrong,” “Fox & Friends” Steve Doocy noted.
“Right up to the last minute … the polls were wrong,” Varney confirmed.
“Now Donald Trump is drawing a parallel to the election, and rightly so,” he continued. “Because some of the issues are the same. Immigration, control your own destiny, that was the issue in Brexit. That’s to some degree the issue here in America. The polls are suggesting that Trump loses in a landslide. Well, let’s see what happens in November.”
“But the main point is that the establishment in America universally opposes Donald Trump, just the way they universally opposed leaving Britain. There is a parallel between the two.”
