    Now you hear it, now you don't. Sometimes she's a scholar, sometimes she's a hood rat.

    But she's always authentic. Just ask her, she'll tell you so!

    I've no doubt that she, like every other populist politician, has a
    carefully managed repertory of public personae. But it's also true that someone can gravitate automatically to the speech mannerisms of his
    immediate environment. I've noticed myself doing it, on trips.

    LOL. I can still recall talking with a classmate of mine back when I
    was in college. He was from Scotland with the typical accent. After
    spending a bit talking with I found myself getting a slight Scottish
    accent without intending to have one. Of course it went away as soon
    as we quit talking and I dealt with the normal mix of accents.

    I think it's something we all tend to do unless we work to not do so.

    But Crockett doesn't just change her accent, she changes her grammar, too. She starts saying "they" instead of "they're", "axe" instead of "ask" and she suddenly stops conjugating the verb "to be".

    You mean like when Crooked Hillary started "talking black" when she
    campaigned where most of the voters were black? Kumswallah Harris and
    Dear Ruler did the same thing.

    Why are you making excuses for it?

    That's just code switching. It's possible to have more than one natural
    style of speech. Many hood rats are more formal/polite when speaking to
    their grandmothers, for instance, or their mothers' pastors.

    I've heard black people laugh about using the wrong dialect, slipping
    into BAE at work or vice versa. This also used to be an issue for white
    people from remote areas, though I think that's mostly faded.

    No, not like that. Linguistic accommodation is perfectly normal and
    happens every day, and it's also not that dramatic. What Ms. Clinton did
    is called "pandering," and it's a different phenomenon.

    ...though even we Hillary supporters can admit that we clinched at it.

    Yeah, at least Crockett is actually black. Hillary was sad.
