He now claims to be one of the Ivy Leaguers and this is a qualification.
How many blue-collars would see that as a disqualifyer

I love that we have a candidate who talks fiercely off the cuff and doesn’t care what his competitors think of him.

Wow. I wonder where on the scale this would place Joe Biden and mister “Corpseman”?

Trumps seems to communicate very well to voters. Look who is on top and who is not. Run that through your silly Flesch-Kincaid scale.

He's going after the democrat vote.
To: Citizen Zed
That’s because he’s trying to appeal to the Dem base.

And Obama *acts* like one.
Guess which one I'd prefer.

This author is one of those guys who believes he’s the smartest in the room. I have a challenge for him.
He should challenge Cruz, and his “9th grade” speaking to a one on one debate.
At the end of it let’s see who’s curled up in a ball, in the corner, sucking his thumb.
Shafer couldn’t carry Ted’s notes to a debate.

Reagan was a great communicator. Although he was smart enough to use sophisticated and complex language, he was wise enough to use only simple words instead.
Trump is a smart ivy league graduate, but he is wise enough to speak as simply as possible.

"Donald Trump Talks Like a Third-Grader"
BLAME TODAY'S PUBLIC EDUCATION SYSTEM!
Trump HAS TO, because of the LACK OF EDUCATION OF THE CURRENT VOTERS, ESPECIALLY THE
"ESTABLISHMENT REPUBLICANS" voters!
If Trump spoke at any higher grade level,
the majority of voters could NOT understand him!

That means he UNDERSTANDS the audience he talkingto, just like Obama’s handlers did.
Yet ANOTHER hit piece.
Anyone but me notice the volume of outright hate against Trump has really ratcheted up the last two days?

To: Citizen Zed
I suppose when your general goal is to obfuscate what you actually intend that using a greater vocabulary is one of the many effective tools a person can use. A side benefit of such verbiage permits the walking back of what was communicated by interpreting the higher language which was misunderstood.
However, there are quite a few people who revert to simpler language to actually speak from the heart.

So, “Hope and Change. Yes, we can!” - was Barack Hussein Obama’s Shakespearean retort to God. How wonderful is dichotomy?
To: Citizen Zed
He prefers to link short, blocky words into other short, blocky words to create short, blocky sentences that he then stacks into short, blocky paragraphs. So did Hemingway.

So Kasich scores one grade higher. Big whoop.
A senior editor for an online media site is all about words.
A president is all about judgment, right action, and persuasion—including to our entire citizenry.
Trump’s style is joltingly different, but it is hard to fault his ability to get his message across to our average citizen.
Besides, look at this: our average college student is reading at the 6th or 7th grade level:

No wonder Trump’s style is what reaches the “common man”.

OMG!
Is this kind of elitist contempt supposed to draw “inferiority complex” voters?

The end result of Trumps word choice is less the stripped-down prose style of Ernest Hemingway than it is a spontaneous reinvention of Ogdens Basic English, According to what assessment standard?

One can understand Trump’s disinclination to engage in a grandiloquent pantomime of polysyllabic sesquipedalianism.
We shan’t hold it against him.
