I watched a bit of the DNC debate last night. Senator Amy Klobuchar, Minneapolis. Poppy Harlow, CNN is on in the background as I type, Minneapolis. We know how HRC talks, small town in IL. The nasal speaking style is the real way educated women from Midwest talk, not a bad Scandinavian accent portrayed by Coen Brothers. Does it bug anyone else?
Kampala is much more nasal. She’s from CA. Very grating.
What is really weird is that the Midwest accent did not really emerge until the 1950s and 60s. And it has never been tied to any influence from one immigrant group. Basically, people just started talking that way all of a sudden.
I have lived in either Iowa or Minnesota my whole life, people don't talk like her. Speaking 'nasaly' is not common.

I listed three educated Midwest women, two from Minneapolis area and HRC. You stated, "Her."

Kamala Harris, has an authoritative way have speaking. I would not consider it nasal. Didn't K Harris move to Canada at age 12? The three women I stated were born and raised in Midwest.

Take your pick. People in the Midwest, for the most part, don't have much of an accent. Similar to people from Connecticut, pretty standard pronunciations of words. Only when you go to some rural areas will people say things weird. Just like educated people from Boston don't speak like Mark Wahlberg.
Yes I can't stand that nasally accent and while not everyone talks that way, many of them do

The Hillary accent is a Great Lakes accent. You hear it from Syracuse, NY to Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago and from people like Ted Nugent, Lori Greiner, Bob Seger. The accent from the Fargo movie is different, a Minnesota or upper Midwestern accent, and both are different from the midland accent which most people consider neutral.
