Mr Farage spoke at a rally for Mrs Clinton’s Republican rival Donald Trump in MS, drawing parallels between the European Union referendum campaign and the businessman’s bid to take the White House.

The outgoing Ukip leader’s comments come after he spoke at one of Mr Trump’s rallies in Jackson, Mississippi.
Mr Trump has repeatedly spoken of his support for Britain leaving the European Union and last week dubbed himself “Mr Brexit”.
Earlier, on a visit to Florida, Mr Trump said polls showed him trailing in the state.
The remark appeared to catch many in the predominately white crowd by surprise, particularly a woman standing on stage behind Trump. He’s known for his role in the Brexit campaign, but Farage also led the UK Independence Party, which has frequently been criticized for its nativist, racially charged platform. “You can go out, you can beat the pollsters, you can beat the commentators, you can beat Washington, and you’ll do it by doing what we did for Brexit in Britain”, said Farage. If you are happy with life then Hillary is probably the candidate for you.
Just last week, Donald Trump labeled himself “Mr. Brexit”. “I wouldn’t vote for Hillary Clinton if she paid me”.
She represents the failed past and would do better going out meeting American voters rather than attacking me.
The former Ukip leader, who addressed a rally for the outspoken Republican nominee in Jackson, Mississippi, said he was struck by his warmth and support for Brexit.
He said that he believed the circumstances and similarities and the parallels between the voters for Brexit and voters against Hillary are uncanny.
“They all said it couldn’t happen – the media, the politicians, the businesses”.
“Everybody said we’d lose”, noted Frage. With our well-aimed stone, like David, we hit that big Goliath and we knocked him over.
Farage didn’t endorse Trump – but he made no secret of his disdain for Clinton. He told Trump supporters to “get your walking boots on” and campaign for the controversial billionaire to clinch the upcoming November US election.
Although he declined to endorse Trump, saying he would not interfere in the US election, he then drew applause and laughter as he said: ‘But I will say this, if I was an American citizen I wouldn’t vote for Hillary Clinton if you paid me.
Mr Farage repeatedly mentioned that the Leave campaign had beaten the odds.

Obama had warned Britons that in case of a Brexit, their country would suffer economic problems as the decision would put it at the “end of the queue” of trading with the US.
