Famine on the Potomac
Britain’s vote to get out of the EU sent tremors through the financial markets in London and New York – stocks plummeted, banks tottered, billionaires fled to high ground – and, in the meantime, reports of Donald Trump’s flagging fundraising sent a shock wave through the Republican Political Class in our nation’s capital.
Summer and fall before a Presidential election is harvest time for Republican politicos – it’s when deals are made and contracts are signed; it’s the time when the tide rolls in and cash changes hands. But Trump’s anemic fundraising spells a billion dollar shortfall which means a fallow harvest and a bleak winter.
There’re tremors in London. But there’s panic in Washington.
