>>Unlike certain other candidates, Cruz has a vocabulary above a third grade level

There is a rule in speaking or writing: don’t talk above the level of your audience. What is Trump failing to articulate with the vocabulary that he is using? Do you think that he’d be doing even better if he talked like an over-educated snob?

If you can make a point with common words, then use common words. Only a fool or a college professor thinks that its a good idea to make the audience feel stupid.

Bottom line: he’s an educated, successful, NYC billionaire who is trying to appeal to the NASCAR crowd. You figure out the best way to communicate.

Maybe, but I think Trump communicates in the only way he is able to.

Studies say Trump speaks at the 4th grade level. All I ask is for 3 or 4 grades higher than that.
