Clinton's Campaign Is Predicated on the Gruber Principle
2016-11-08
[Spectator] In 1778 Thomas Jefferson wrote, "Laws will be wisely formed and honestly administered in proportion as those who form and administer them are wise and honest." Does anyone believe that the Sage of Monticello, had he been unfortunate enough to know her, would have included Hillary Clinton among the ranks of such people? The voters certainly don’t. According to a McClatchy-Marist poll released Friday, a majority of the electorate believes Clinton has done "something illegal." That should be reassuring as it relates to the wisdom of the voters. Sadly, it isn’t. The survey also shows Clinton leading Donald Trump 46-44.

And it gets worse. When asked if the various legal controversies that swirl around Clinton with ever-increasing velocity would make a difference in the way they vote tomorrow, fully 65 percent of Democrats answered "no difference at all." Is this an artifact of the "Gruber Principle"? For those who may have forgotten, this is a reference to the incredibly disingenuous Democrat strategy that was used to pass Obamacare. It will forever be associated with MIT Professor Jonathan Gruber, who injudiciously described it on video as follows: "[T]he stupidity of the American voter... was really, really critical for the thing to pass."
