What do Americans think of Brexit ?

I personally hope it happens. I think that it would be the best thing for Britain, and ultimately for Europe (though some countries of Europe probably don't see it that way). But sadly, I don't think that the politicians there have either the backbone or even the desire to make it happen. I think they're probably too worried that certain countries of Europe that are used to being bailed out financially would find some way to retaliate against Britain if they were to ever go through with it.

But I'm just an American, so what do I know? It's just my theory.
