In the undercard round of the first GOP debate, candidates stuck to a pretty basic vocabulary, with non-surprises like nation, economy, and immigration appearing most frequently.
However, when we used our listmaker to sort all words used in the undercard round of the debate by relevancy (this compares use in the debate to use in the Vocabulary.com corpus of texts overall), we get to see where candidates go when they dig deep for more unusual words, candidates did so judiciously.
Scan through this list for relevancy data on individual words.
