++Patrick Healy and Maggie Haberman "95,000 Words Many Of Them Ominous,From Trump's Tongue".
++The Times feed every word Trump said in the past week into the computer and generated 95,000 words and analyzed them.
++"The dark power of his words has become the defining feature of Mr. Trump's bid for the White House in a degree rarely seen in modern politics,as he forgoes the usual campaign trappings -policy, endorsements, commercials,donations--and instead relies on potent language to connect with and often stoke,the fears and grievances of Americans."
++The long piece makes mention of his breezy and folksy stage presence.This makes him all the more effective and less off-putting than the raging men of old.
++The most striking hallmark has Trump's constant repetition of divisive phrases,harsh words and violent imagery that American presidents rarely use. He uses "we" and "you" has he inveighs against a dangerous "them".
++Read the piece. It reminds us of the early days on this blog when I referred to the Canadian study of American authoritarianism and how the modern GOP voter responds to "strong" leaders.
++Hopefully, the next part of the piece would be how to combat the effectiveness of the Donald.
