Mitch McConnell's speech patterns.

When he wants to emphasize something, he takes the word, or phrase in the sentence and repeats it. Just listening to him now as he's reciting his government funding speech on the floor and it's distracting, now that I figured it out.

Just thought I might mention it because it makes a great drinking game.

If one is more aware of these little “devices” and marketing tricks and other subliminal messaging - perception management - one is less apt to be vulnerable to manipulation by them.
