Hillary vs Bernie

Ask garbose.

They are synonyms, though I think condescending is more openly negative.

Tyrion for President.

Tyrion is SOOO establishment though.

He's pretty much exactly the opposite.  He's a bastard of the exiled royal family who was only reluctantly acknowledged as as the son of an establishment figure in order to avoid an anti-establishment backlash.  He is as outsider as outsider gets.

Yeah, except for the 99% of the population who aren't part of a royal family.  They might be more of an outsider then that.

True outsiders have piercing blue eyes and icy cold skin.

Interesting as they finally do the Dems.

What do the highlighted phrases mean?

Sanders seems to repeat more platform - significant phrases than Clinton.

I think it highlights what they think are characteristic statements of the candidates - at least that was the case when they did Republicans. Here was their take.

The differences here are stark, and they line up well with the dominant narrative of this race. Clinton is the candidate of action, stressing strong verbs and first-person pronouns; Sanders is the protest candidate, listing problems that he thinks need more attention. Read from top to bottom, the former secretary of state's talking points resemble a cover letter put through a blender; the Vermont senator's list reads like a socialist stream of consciousness of American problems with Scandinavian solutions.

For all the talk of Clinton's stilted performances and Sanders's from-the-gut delivery, the latter is the more repetitive candidate by far. I expected to see "millionaires and billionaires" in Sanders's top 20 but had to scroll through dozens of higher-scoring phrases like "corporate America" and "Goldman Sachs" before finding it at No. 72.

As I mentioned in my previous article, tf-idf is a relative measure, so a score of 25 means only "higher than 20." Longer and more repeated phrases score higher, and phrases that have also been used by other candidates score lower.

It's really bad style to highlight something without explaining the meaning of highlighting.  Pretty surprising to see it from 538, who are usually pretty good about such things.

Well here is exactly what they said for Repubs. So I suppose what they think are core statements that say something about the candidate.

Beyond highlighting some stone-cold classics — "right to keep and bear arms" — and quintessential Trumpisms — "we don't win" — this analysis reveals each candidate's verbal tics. Ted Cruz daydreams about the possibilities "if I am elected president," while Rubio, fresh off a string of third- and fourth-place victories, predicts the glorious future "when I'm president." Trump shoots from the hip with "I have to say"; Cruz betrays his Ivy League past with "I would note." And John Kasich ... well, he mostly just talks about his record in Ohio.

Am I the only Democrat who think that Sanders might be a little crazy.
