I seem to recall another time a major political shakeup in the UK in the summer foretold a similar political shakeup in the US in the fall.
JUST IN: Labour heading toward a landslide victory in the UK. This is their return to power, for the first time since 2010. National exit poll, released moments ago, shows them above 400 seats. The ruling conservatives projected at 131, which would be their lowest since WWII.

I've been thinking the same thing. They're a semi-cycle ahead. Although slightly different dynamics with the dem admin in the middle here.

Nah, Brexit in summer 2016, then Trump in the fall.

ah well I'd settle for the exact inverse of that situation, to say the barest minimum
