Donald Trump talks like a 4th grader: linguistic analysis

Republican presidential front runner Donald Trump talks like a 4th grader, according to a linguistic analysis performed by Politico's Jack Shafer. Shafer ran the text of Trumps' responses in the recent Republican debate through the Flesch-Kincaid test, designed to determine how difficult a given passage is to understand for English readers:

Run through the Flesch-Kincaid grade-level test, his text of responses score at the 4th-grade reading level. For Trump, that’s actually pretty advanced. All the other candidates rated higher, with Ted Cruz earning 9th-grade status. Ben Carson, Mike Huckabee, and Scott Walker scored at the 8th-grade level. John Kasich, the next-lowest after Trump, got a 5th-grade score.

This explains his polls numbers and popularity with far-right GOPers.

Couldn't agree more, hard right conservatives have the mind of a child. They run on emotion and trump is all emotion. How else would someone be able to say they will build a huge wall on the Mexican border and make Mexico pay for it.

It is so laughable as to be pathetic, but hard right wingers eat that shit up and ask for more.

I want a Trump/Palin ticket.

Rump/Coulter! Make the pie higher!
Harpies! Shrews! Punches in the face and 'you're fired' and 'you're sued!"

Hilarious thread.... keep it up girls, the giggles never stop!

I love how Trump lives in an imaginary world where everything is 'classy' or 'terrific'--any embarrassing failure is spun without fail to a positive.

 

[Unkotare]

So, this thread has nothing to do with "linguistic analysis."

The way he always wiggles sideways to keep from answering any questions and then says "trust me" ...

Used car salesman.

There are a lot of legitimate reasons to critique Donald Trump. This one is simply stupid and childish and right on par with the kind of debate we've all come to expect from the OP.

He won't be elected but if he were, he would be the leader of the free world. As such, he should be held to higher standards than that of a grade school bully.

Too bad since it looks like it's really held him back....
He could have been somebody,done something with his life...

And if daddy hadn't left him an enormous fortune?

How many times could you afford to declare bankruptcy and still have plenty left to spend on more bad investments?

Yeah,

Kinda like "What does it matter..."

You talk like a communist asshole. Trump is a billionaire. It's a proven fact that Trump has a major advantage over you in the intelligence department. Your pathetic hack source and post are meaningless.

If that is the best you have to offer for a reply, then it's pretty clear who has the 4th grade mentality.
