Bill Clinton claims Republicans win elections by 'finding some new way to scare the living daylights out of swing voters' and insists if Democrats 'say the right things' they could hold onto power

Bill Clinton, 76, said that Republicans are only able to 'close' in midterm elections because 'they scare people' into thinking they need to vote in right-leaning politicians.

The former Democratic president said that his party could hold onto the House and Senate in November's election if they 'say the right things' – suggesting that Republicans are better at embellishing to make their cause seem more dire.

While early predictions pointed to a Republican bloodbath in the 2022 midterms, more recent polling has shown Democrats and the GOP at a tie or close to one when asked which party likely voters would rather see control Congress.

An often-repeated historical pendulum pattern shows Congress flipping to the opposite party than a new president in the midterms two years after they are sworn into office.

President Clinton, who was in office from 1993 to 2001, thinks the pattern can be broken this year.

'We could hold both of these houses,' Clinton said to CNN's Fareed Zakaria in a Sunday interview.

But we have to say the right things – and we have to know that the Republicans always close well. Why? Because they find some new way to scare the living daylights out of swing voters about something,' he continued.

The GOP was successfully able to campaign on education issues, winning some key elections by promising parents more say in their children's schooling.

Clinton said Republicans 'scared' voters by making 'critical race theory sound worse than smallpox.'

'And it wasn't being taught at any public schools in America,' he insisted. 'They didn't care. They just scare people.'

“say the right things” = lying

It’s a vast right wing conspiracy

One word.....PROJECTION!

[frank ballenger]

Cher, Whoopie Goldberg, Don Lemon, Morning Joe. With that list of respected advisors why do we need to hear from Bill?

[joethedrummer]

Gee… a brain being eaten away by syphillis is a terrible thing. What scares the daylights out of citizens is a corrupt rogue government that is above the law and does whatever it wants to the “little people”, Billy-boy.

Bill Clinton ... insists if Democrats 'say the right things' Lie well enough and loud enough they could hold onto power

[nickcarraway]

Isn’t he the one who won elections by saying the Republicans wanted elderly people to eat dog food?

[DannyTN]

Project much?

Like the democrats haven’t claimed the Republicans are going to kill social security and Medicare, and institute white supremacy and violence each and every election.

[frank ballenger]

I heard a conservative on some radio show say: “I never thought I would hear myself saying this but with the terrible things happening now I sort of almost miss when Bill Clinton was President. That’s a bad sign.”

Nia Nia Nia Nia Nia!!!

Bill Clinton trying to be Obama

[Obadiah]

Scare them like, MAGA Republicans are a threat to democracy?

Scare them like, White supremacists are an internal threat worse than the attackers of 9/11?

You mean like that kind of demagoguery?

[WeaslesRippedMyFlesh]

Don’t really need to say much.

Gas prices.

Empty store shelves.

Blood red Presidential Naziesque backdrops.

Speaks for itself really.

What they need to do is stop people from talking to each other who disagree with socialism. Oh, wait...

[Vision]

His narcissism and lack of morality is still impressively depraved.

[TornadoAlley3]

True crime scare Americans. High cost of goods. And the endless disparaging of everyone who has a different opinion, to name a few.

[RckyRaCoCo]

Right sinkmeister...we're the ones dragging our political adversaries out of their homes in the middle of the night, while jailing political prisoners who dare protest this illegitimate regime.

Projection is what they do best, the worst kind of liars.

We should have drawn a red-line a long time ago with these cretins.

[MileHi]

Yeah, they say democRats are racist, homophobic, want dirty air and water, want grandma to eat dog food, going to cut your social security...

Oh, wait. The democRats say that every election about us.

Lying prick.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Yes, Republicans scare people. So you better vote for Democrats, or you’re a terrorist extremist who destroys the earth and cling to your guns and religion with antipathy for others.

[StAnDeliver]

Clinton got CHUMPED in his first mid-term -- 1994 -- by the Gingrich Revolution. And he can feel it coming again.

Speaking of mid-terms, their 2018 tour was cancelled, not because of poor ticket sales, but because the Party didn't want Bubba out there attracting #MSM lightning by his increasingly dementia-riddle speech.

So the best thing that could happen is for Bubba to be invited on every. single. morning. show. from. here. to. election. day. November. 8.

You mean things like “They’re gonna put you back in chains!”
