Why is Trump resonating? He speaks at the lowest grade level

By every criteria in the algorithm, Trump is speaking at the lowest level. He used fewer characters per word in his announcement speech, fewer syllables per word, and his sentences were shorter than all other candidates.

[QUOTE][I]His vocabulary is filled with words like

The Republicans in congress have not done what they were elected to do.

So, as a result, the people want someone who WILL do what they are elected to do.

Its not hard to figure out.

[Nick Young]

he speaks common sense and stands up vs PC bullshitters and social justice whiners.

PC bitches are desperately afraid of Trump winning because he's going to put an end to the PC gravy train that all of these media personalities have been capitalizing off of the past few years.

I am sick of a corrupt bureaucracy running the country. With Trump it will probably be the same, but maybe not, as he isn't a shill sponsored by lobbyists.


Trump gonna win, don't cry people, it will be ok.

So at least vote for someone who doesn't deflect and insult when asked a direct question. Vote for a candidate who is actually despised by the establishment, and that's Ted Cruz.

If you have establishment Republicans backing Donald Trump, then what do you think that means for the rest of the country? It means more of the same.

[Nick Young]

Cruz is a joke of a candidate funded by lobbyists.

If you want someone to fight against Washington corruption, you want Trump.

I'll vote for someone who does the job I want them to.

How they conduct their personal affairs, I don't care.

See in my world, you can be the meanest, most ignorant piece of shit on the planet, but if you get the job done and get it done correctly, it doesn't matter to me. You think I care if Coach Cal wants to go do blow and bang hookers on the weekends? No, I want him to win games. That's what he was hired for. Republicans in congress still passed Obamacare even after it was blatantly obvious that it was against the law? Get them all out. You weren't elected to sign your name off on shit just because, you were elected to stop Obama's destructive presidency, and you didn't. So for those Republicans in congress now, you all can **** right off.

I've been leaning Cruz for the long time, I was just answering your question. You asked why Trump was resonating, I am telling you why.

Wrong. Bernie is a flaming commie looking to jack up taxes and is trying to turn USA in to Sweden 2.0.

His vagueness when it came to describing how he would change things got tiring.

I'm smarter than than. 1000x smarter than that and I hope a few of my Republican brethren on here are smarter than that too.

Plus, the insults are just childish. No way do I want anyone with that kind of vitriol running the country for me.

And Donald's tactic is a tactic that Liberals use all the time. When cornered, Donald deflects and then personally attacks, thus always avoiding the issue.

Example: "Donald, the New York Times pointed out in their article that you said this just a few months ago and now you are saying something else."

Donald: "Ahh the New York Times are a bunch of hacks. I built the building they run their paper out of. I even loaned them some money back in the .com craze blah blah blah"

Deflect, demean, and never answer the question or allegation. He learned it from the best of them.....Liberals. He's no Conservative.

This is very true. It's funny seeing all the democratic cheerleaders on here laughing at the Republican Party for effectively doing what they will soon be doing themselves. The idea that a party with large amounts of support for Bernie Sanders on one side, and Hilary Clinton on the other, is in any serious way unified, or is long for this world, is downright laughable.

These parties have been defunct and completely unrepresentative for some time, so a political realignment is inevitable. This stagnation of parties who have been captured by monied elites is something that's been happening all over the West, as is the populace's rejection of them. In this respect, the Democrats are behind the Republicans, as most of the latter want to blow their party to pieces, whereas too many of the former still cling to theirs (see all the "haw, haw Republicans, haw haw" comments; the "my team is winning" attitude of moronic political partisans). The disillusionment that would be brought in by a Hilary Clinton Presidency would end that rather quickly, however.

Some people are so short-sighted it's amazing: they can't see beyond the next election, and are slaves to the media narrative. And how does the media achieve this? By appealing to their vanity, by making them feel superior to the stoopids. It's an interesting irony.

Around 1900. Here..


The original liberal bent of the Republican Party is especially evidenced by the 1888 Presidential election where Republican Benjamin Harrison was elected President by advocating a liberal platform. He favored expanding the money supply, expanding the protective tariff, and allocating munificent funding for social services. Harrison lost his re-election bid in 1892 to Democrat Grover Cleveland, who advocated a conservative platform, including maintaining the gold standard, reducing the protective tariff, and supporting a lassie faire approach to government intervention in the economy.

Then in 1896 as the country was mired in another depression, there was a move afoot in the Democratic Party to abandon the conservative orthodoxy of Van Buren and Cleveland, and to undertake a radically different ideological approach. To the chagrin of the Democratic high command, the party took a leap of faith when it nominated the 36-year-old firebrand populist William Jennings Bryan. Nicknamed "The Great Commoner," Bryan advocated a liberal platform. He opposed the gold standard, advocated an interventionist role for the government in the economy, and supported an expansion of the money supply. He was the first liberal to win the Democratic Party Presidential nomination. This represented a radical departure from the conservative roots of the Democratic Party.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/rich-rubino/democratic-and-republican-ideologies_b_3432210.html

More stuff here.. http://www.livescience.com/34241-democratic-republican-parties-switch-platforms.html

During the 1860s, Republicans, who dominated northern states, orchestrated an ambitious expansion of federal power, helping to fund the transcontinental railroad, the state university system and the settlement of the West by homesteaders, and instating a national currency and protective tariff. Democrats, who dominated the South, opposed these measures. After the Civil War, Republicans passed laws that granted protections for African Americans and advanced social justice; again, Democrats largely opposed these expansions of power.

Sound like an alternate universe? Fast forward to 1936. Democratic president Franklin Roosevelt won reelection that year on the strength of the New Deal, a set of Depression-remedying reforms including regulation of financial institutions, founding of welfare and pension programs, infrastructure development and more. Roosevelt won in a landslide against Republican Alf Landon, who opposed these exercises of federal power.

So, sometime between the 1860s and 1936, the (Democratic) party of small government became the party of big government, and the (Republican) party of big government became rhetorically committed to curbing federal power. How did this switch happen?

Around 1900. Here..
Damn. Then why were democrats so heavily involved the the KKK, Jim Crow laws and against civils rights after that?

Freedom Summer, the '64 Civil Rights Act, The Voting Rights Act of '65 caused a mass migration of Southern Conservative Democrats to the Republican party.

It was known as the Southern Strategy, orchestrated by the likes of Nixon AKA Tricky D*ck himself.

He prosecuted a teacher for teaching evolution, was in favour of giving the KKK a voice in the Democrat Party, and was a champion of alcohol prohibition (amongst other things). Just because he was a populist doesn't make him into some kind of "liberal"

McKinley also favoured protective tariffs, and interventionism, while Bryan was an isolationist (usually considered a conservative, not liberal position).

In 1964 BOTH parties were more mixed ideologically. Republicans had a lot of folks who supported Civil Rights and Planned Parenthood. They would win in New England, even states like Bernie Sanders's Vermont. Democrats had tons of conservative politicians especially in the South.

Since 1964 Democrats have only won Mississippi and Alabama one time, when a southerner from Georgia was running. The several elections before that it was reliably Democratic.

The trends since then have been Conservatives moving to the Republican party. Liberals moving to the Democratic party. It's childish to pretend this didn't happen.

I'm not too familiar with the views of William J Bryan except that he was a Democrat secretary of state in early 1900s. The article doesn't state he was anything like current day liberals though - parties used to be slightly more moderate back then with the lines blurring between members within their own parties. The lines are more drawn out nowadays and no longer as blurred within dems/repubs.

Because the lines were not as obvious back then. There was many conservative democrats and many liberal republicans. Those would be very much moderates today. Overall as political parties, they were more moderate.

Today we all know that on average, dems lean left and repubs lean right. Many moderates are independents or just unaffiliated.
