Trump’s and Hillary’s language analyzed by a master

Saturday, February 20, 2016

Anyone who cares about language will be fascinated by Barton Swaim’s analysis of political language, in the Washington Post. There aren’t many people anywhere who know as much as Swaim does about this subject (Google him, he’s fascinating–and quite a charmer in person, I’ve learned. I admire him and invited him to lunch in Columbia, SC, where he lives and is active in a Presbyterian church).
