"What difference does it make now!!!!"

Recently, Hillary Clinton made what was ostensibly an ordinary campaign stop in Columbia, South Carolina. Or, perhaps I should say — as Clinton herself did at one point — South Carolahnah. Clinton, as a few reporters immediately noted, at some points during her speech slipped into the faintest hints of a Southern accent; you can mostly hear it in the softening of the vowel i: retirement became retahrment, I sounded more like Ah.
Here's a short clip from her appearance:

Clinton is far from the only politician to be accused of putting on a fake accent in order to pander to the voting public, but she's been in the public eye for so many years at this point that we've had decades to observe the way her accent comes and goes. (Recently, Bloomberg produced an ambitious video that claims to catalogue the former secretary of State's accent evolution over the years — it's fascinating.)
(snip of psychobabble)
In Clinton's case, [Lawrence D. Rosenblum, a psychology professor at the University of California, Riverside, who has studied speech imitation] acknowledges, "It could be, to some degree, that she is trying to ingratiate herself," he said. "But it could also be she does it because she happens to be a pretty empathetic person. It's not something I would ever really criticize anybody on."

I've listened to videos from years ago and Walker's never had a strong Wisconsin accent. Must be due to the fact that he was born in Colorado Springs, moved to Iowa when he was 3 and then to Wisconsin when he was 10.
"What difference does it make now!!!!"
Hillary mimics accents in the areas where she goes. Remember last campaign in the South where she started off with: I’se soo tarred, etc ... she panders.
You probably also accept six-figure speaking fees in exchange for favored treatment from the US State Department.
Title of the next article from the New York Magazine:
Hillary Clinton Accepts Bribes from Foreign Governments — But So Do You, Probably
or perhaps
Hillary Clinton Sleeps with Huma Abiden — But So Do You, Probably
Youtube Video: I'm not sitting her like some little woman standing by my man. I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies for my husband..."
As if I would listen to or care about anything a NY’r would tell me. Of course, they believe the world orbits them.
If a republican did something like that, they'd be tarred and feathered.
But, like Hillary, there's ALWAYS the leftist MSM to make excuses for you.
"Progressivism’s ever-tightening grip on the Democratic Party is on full display in Hillary Clinton’s presidential platform. Starting with her kickoff speech in Iowa, and in subsequent venues across the country, she spoke of her campaign’s “four fights,” one of which is a constitutional amendment on campaign finance. This marks Mrs. Clinton as an adherent to one of the newest and most fervently held tenets of modern progressive teaching: Citizens United v. FEC is an evil that must be destroyed at any cost.
Yet it’s worth dwelling on that cost. Recent history demonstrates that the anti-Citizens United campaign quickly devolves into an assault on the First Amendment and a free and fair electoral system.
In a sense, it’s fitting that Mrs. Clinton supports efforts to overturn the Supreme Court’s 2010 ruling that dealt with the right to buy television ads for a movie that criticized her. The constitutional amendment she wants could return American elections to where they were in 2008, when her opponents and critics were often muzzled in the public square.
Despite the hyperbole surrounding Citizens United, the justices were actually debating a simple issue: Whether a movie critical of then-Sen. Hillary Clinton could be aired on pay-per-view television. Under the Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act of 2002, such activity was banned within 30 days of a primary election. The justices struck down this prohibition, ruling that “the First Amendment protects political speech.” Chief Justice John Roberts was even more blunt, arguing that such bans subvert “the vibrant public discourse that is at the foundation of our democracy.” ....
I know.
Lol
She might’n be foolin’ some of dem Yankees, but she ain’t foolin’ the true sons and daughters of the South.....

When Johnny went a-huntin’
In Ohio this week, John Kerry tried to stage something for the press to show that he’s not an anti-gun elitist who looks down his nose at the voting public. But the dog-and-pony show he put on in order to hunt geese in Ohio the other day largely served as another political opportunity for the Bush campaign and the National Rifle Association to remind gun owners that few senators have been as hostile to them as Mr. Kerry.
Mr. Kerry’s Ohio hunting adventure started last Saturday, when the senator, campaign entourage in tow, went into a grocery store and asked the owner: “Can I get me a hunting license here?” Even the phraseology sounded staged. Mr. Kerry ordinarily doesn’t talk this way, and his language sounded fake and patronizing — as if he was pretending to talk like someone from rural Ohio. ..."

“In Delaware, the largest growth of population is
Indian Americans, moving from India. You cannot
go to a 7/11 or a Dunkin’ Donuts unless you have
a slight Indian accent. I’m not joking.”
” Walker’s never had a strong Wisconsin accent.”
You mean he doesn’t say “Aini Hey and go by Stashes for brewskis?” Or “Oh no hey!”
I lived in Milwaukee for a dozen years.
