Just how illiterate is Trump? Aside from his weasel words and outrageous claims of "best-ever" everything, his vocabulary seems to consist of strong, sad, beautiful, and disgrace. He speaks like a child.

Fair point. I was getting at intelligence moreso than civility or refinement. But you've probably got me there as well.

Are we doomed to journalism shaped by sound-bite-y hyperbole like "fiscal cliff" or is there hope for objective consideration that doesn't mirror political polarization?
