The American people are pretty stupid.
But here’s how it may play out.
Conservatives mostly know she’s a liar.
But why should liberals vote for her, if she’s going to destroy the earth like a republican?
I think the strategy of, “Look In really a conservative!” can be a dangerous one for her.

This sudden policy shift is called a “dog whistle.” It’s a signal that only the insider party members hear, that the new policy is only a lie to get votes from the uninitiated. It’s a trick that worked really well at the local level where five hundred votes can win an election. It’s easy to get five hundred fellow travelers to understand that a lie is a lie. Will it work on a national level? The average communist/socialist/democrat voter isn’t very sophisticated, and you can hardly send them all a secret memo explaining the strategy. Whereas at the local level you can meet in a few Starbucks and get the word out to your five hundred voters pretty easily.
