    She didn’t say that.

    She did use the words “Communist dictator”, but she then described Trump as a tyrant, and in a way that you could easily infer that she was calling him a communist dictator but she didn’t directly say it. Of course, the press are running with it.

    I think she’s trying to hog-whisper again and just like all the other attempts, they’re not landing with fucking anyone.

    Just another over-media-trained, focus-group-brained Democrat. How can they be SO shit? Where’s the actual opposition party and why haven’t we supported it yet? How is someone else not mainstream?

      Democracy sustains capitalism. Capitalism thrives in a democracy. And, right now, we are dealing with, as I called him at my speech on the Ellipse, a tyrant. We used to compare the strength of our democracy to communist dictators. That’s what we’re dealing with right now in Donald Trump.

        A “hog” is a conservative. “Hog-whisper” infers she is trying to appeal to conservatives with “communism bad” rhetoric.
