believed that it would happen until about two weeks ago when some polls showed the leave in the lead and then priced some risk in. but even as of earlier thursday, most figured that the undecideds would break towards the status quo and push remain over the edge. especially because there were so many world leaders sounding the alarm, warning about the catastrophic consequences of a brexit. this is why the actual brexit is causing such a huge shock in markets. as one wall street veteran told me, it may not be the end of the world when the dust clears but the trouble is that we just doesn't

fighting for political change. sanders still has not conceded or endorsed hillary clinton. but he's predicting victories on his platform ideas. donald trump is on a brief vust to scotland for the grand reopening of his golf resort over there. protesters accused him of racism and bigotry and they're planning to gather outside trump's property. more than a half million people have signed a petition to ban him from entering the uk. there's no word on any planned meetings with english leaders. i think they're busy today. on capitol hill, after nearly 26 hours, house democrats finally

i've taken lightly but i do believe it's in the national interests to have a period of stability and then the new leadership required. there is no need for a precise timetable today, but in my view,
