The question is, are we? To elect her, we are.
The arrogance of her always yelling at us.

Clinton’s Campaign Is Predicated on the Gruber Principle
She’s betting “the stupidity of the American voter” will permit her to prevail tomorrow.
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.”This is precisely what Hillary Clinton is hoping to get away with tomorrow. She and her courtiers would claim, of course, that voter indifference to her well-documented penchant for corruption is actually a sign of perspicacity. In other words, they are smart to elect a candidate under investigation by the FBI — on Election Day — rather than put a man as “dangerous” as Donald Trump in the White House. Now, as readers of The American Spectator know, I am no great fan of “the Donald.” But it is absurd to suggest that he somehow presents a greater danger to the Republic than does a woman widely regarded as a career criminal.
And this is where voter ignorance really comes into play. Much of the electorate seems to be under the impression that, once installed in the presidency, corrupt politicians are somehow rendered virtuous by the office. Presumably, the voters who don’t worry about Hillary’s illegal behavior while Secretary of State believe that she will undergo a personality change once sworn in as President. And this incredibly naïve view is not restricted to the hoi polo. ...
