    The emotion driving the Brexit? It's what fueled the Sanders campaign, not the Trump campaign

I dont know if I agree there. The demographics dont match very well for one. A lot of the brexit momentum was fueled by the economic migrants coming from Syria, Iraq, and potentially Turkey but there is also common ground with the sanders side with isolationism to fund the NHS. There is just a lot of frustration to go around from both sides and any movement that can hit enough of those frustrated voters has potential to take pretty drastic changes.
