Only 36 percent of Americans expressed approval of Democrats in a Gallup poll Nov. 12, the lowest in the 22 years Gallup has been asking that question. Republicans were approved of by 42 percent. In Gallup’s poll 13 months ago, 43 percent had approved of Democrats, just 28 percent of the GOP.
To understand how Democrats could fall so far so fast, consider MIT economist Jonathan Gruber, to whom the Obama administration paid $400,000 to help design ObamaCare.
Prof. Gruber thinks he’s very smart, and you aren’t.
“Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage,” Mr. Gruber said. “Call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really really critical for the thing to pass.”
Since it was comprised of fellow liberal elitists, Mr. Gruber assumed, correctly, that his audience would chuckle appreciatively at his smackdown of the Great Unwashed. But if he were as smart as he thinks he is, he’d have remembered that most cell phones are also recording devices.
