    I think he needs to think in human common sense before he can speak in code.

    Great question!

    And to be fair, Trump isn't the only person to have become fluent in 'dog whistle' language.

    Everybody can hear dog whistles now and it has kind of lost that aspect of the meaning.

    Its real use is to give 'plausible deniability' CIA style. E.g:

    "I didn't really mean that we should shoot Hillary, I thought guns was the fifth amendment or something. Anyway she is a loser. I will write an amendment so world class that..."

    And so on ;-)

    Yes these code words and "dog whistles" always have to be explained to the people supposedly using them. Why is that? Maybe because everything does not have a double meaning or a under current of racism or violence.

    I thought that dog whistles were beyond the range of human hearing Burnley. You mean  it is just a myth/lie/old wives' tale?  What does a dog whistle sound like then? A whistle whistle that coaches use or kids use? Thank you for your reply and Happy Thursday! :)

    I told you before that I am woefully ignorant about code words m2c. I even asked a question regarding whether there is list of code words that really mean something else so I can bone up on them and not use them. I told you that I used the word "thug" and got smacked for it.  So your guy says there is nothing you can do about Hillary's judge selections...except that the second amendment people might...and that would be a HORRIBLE thing. So you tell me what he meant? Why would he say it would be a HORRIBLE thing if it were so innocent? It is a serious question and I hope you answer it. Thank you for your reply.

    I dunno Baba. Trump is a thing unto itself and we cannot know what that itself is.  We only know what we hear and see.Thank you for your reply.

    I explained on your other question. He means It would be horrible for Hillary to be able to appoint judges to the SCOTUS. They would be liberal and willing to tear down the 2nd amendment etc. It would be a horrible blow to America. Maybe the 2nd amendment people (NRA member etc) will be able to band together to fight them but it would be a uphill struggle if Hillary gets to make these appointment(s).

    Well m2c I can see that you see no threat there. Your apologia mirrors exactly his other supporters' views. I can't fault you for that. If you were to admit he was in fact suggesting violence it  might make you realize how dangerous he is and why so many of us fear him . Thank you for your reply. You are a brave woman. You don't seem to be afraid of him  at all. He terrifies me. :(
