I just realized if Clinton is elected president, we'll have to figure out which Clinton did it first - the first or the second, and in the first block or second. I think I made my brain explode.

So nice to see you again. I wanted to thank you for that wonderful exploration of the term "dogwhistle politics" over on the "obama is not using sexist language against hillary she really is a whiny, crybaby, woman" thread over at LGM. You perfectly expressed how politics and manipulation gets done to the new enthusiasts who haven't been paying attention. Thanks. aimai Susie from Philly,
