Hillary Clinton claims voters don’t ‘really understand’ midterm stakes

She’s not helping.

Hillary Clinton suggested Tuesday night that Americans may not “really understand” what is at stake in the midterm elections — and they haven’t grasped what it could mean if Republicans retake the House and Senate.

The former secretary of state and 2016 Democratic presidential candidate made the remarks during an interview with MSNBC’s Joy Reid after she was asked if voters were aware of the supposed threat posed by the GOP.

“I think that with all of the noise that we’ve gotten in this election season, I don’t think that people are really able to grasp that,” Clinton agreed.

“But more importantly, I’m not sure they really understand the threats to their way of life.”

The former first lady specifically pointed to Social Security and Medicare, saying that GOP lawmakers led by Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla. — the chair of the Republican Senate Campaign Committee — have said they’ll put the programs “up for a vote” if they regain their congressional majorities. Republicans have insisted no such vote is in prospect.

“Now, I don’t understand why every American, not just people eligible for those two programs that they have paid into, that they have worked hard for, that they have earned, are not up in arms,” Clinton said.

“We’ve got lots of problems right now in our country. We need sensible people to come together to try and solve them.

“The last thing we need is to make life even harder for the vast majority of Americans because it’s not just seniors who would have Medicare and Social Security on the chopping block. It would be their children and their grandchildren who would have to step in and fill the hole that they had left.”

Because the people know you're lying.

Hillary doesn't really understand voters. A psychopath never does.

This Dem disaster of an election would not be complete without Hillary rearing her ugly head to claim that Republican voters are stupid and evil. Keep talking Hillary. I need some entertainment.

I know she is lying about Social Security, but who does she think is going to shoulder the $31 Trillion national debt?

We are blessed to have Hilary available to explain these serious issues to us.

I for one, never vote on any issue of importance until I’ve had the benefit of Hilary’s opinion.

The threats to our way of life only come from condescending liberals like Hillary (”basket of deplorables”).

The stakes: the one world government Satanists are attempting to destroy America as it is but one small piece in their plan for global governance. That one world government will eventually establish complete dominance over the planet likely killing billions of people along the way. One in power, a leader who at first brings great peace will ascend to head the world government. That person will be the Antichrist.

And we are opposed to all that.

How’s that for stakes?
