RACE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE, ANOTHER ‘BREXIT’ SHOCK?

As 2016 US presidential campaign enter its final phase, people all over the globe ponder  the possibility of another ‘BREXIT’ and consequences of having republican presidential candidate Donald Trump as president of the most powerful country on the planet. People are beginning to think through, for the past two years, Trump has been controversially and practically making harmful comments which have potential of tearing the social fabric which holding world states together. People have every reason to worry.
Polls have been showing a tightening race, with democratic presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton in a slight lead. The same polls have confused and worsened their predictions; they have been inconsistent, vague and do not reflect both the popular and electoral vote.
Political pundits equally fear that ‘BREXIT’ shock could repeat itself in these elections. They say US pollsters could be dead wrong in their prediction just as pollsters were in the UK during BREXIT referendum campaigns. If indeed they are wrong in this US presidential election, well Americans may wake up to learn that they have elected Donald trump as their president. The reality would come as a shock just as reality of BREXIT came as a shocker to citizens of the UK.
This 2016 election has proven to be the most unpredictable one; it has been a bruising battle full of weird and bitter word exchanges between Trump and Clinton. Its end is nigh, it is just a matter of hours before we know whether Americans have settled on Trump or Clinton. But before then, one must win the battle for swing vote in Florida, Ohio and North Caronlina.History shows that since 1963, virtually no president has won an election without winning votes in this three crucial states, especially Ohio. The three states hold the key to the white house, with a total of 62 electoral college, they have potential to tilt election any minute, whoever will grab these states votes will definitely win.
