No disrepect intended, but they are 4th grade level speeches. The names he uses are also 4th grade level: “Crooked Hillary”, “Lyin’ Ted”, “Little Marco.” When I first heard this, I thought: “what is this, grade school?”
But it seems to be working for him, or at least it has so far. It doesn’t present a very flattering picture of our voting populace that this is what it takes to win over voters, but it’s not a bad reflection on Trump. Quite the opposite, I think. He’s hit on something that no other candidate has, and that’s marketing your message in language your customers can understand.
Not only understand, but understand “instantly” without processing. A person who hears Trump speaking will still understand what he’s saying even if not paying full attention because the brain processes it almost “in the background”.
Be that as it may, Trump is not talking down to us as does Obama, the Left, and many in the GOP, possibly even Newt when he’s not careful. Trump is one of us and he has a way of saying what we’re thinking.
When being educated I was trained to use 16,000 words to describe a statue.
In real life, my VP told me put everything on the first page. “I don’t read past page 1.”
Most ads that we are bombarded with are sophomoric if not insultingly stupid. Yet they work or they wouldn’t run them. So there’s no risk in dumbing down messages targeted at the general populace. Advertisers have proven that.
The risk would be just the opposite: trying to present a fact filled, coherent argument would get you nowhere. lol
