I've heard it said that his choppy speech actually makes him more popular.
Yeah, sure he gets teased mercilessly by people with a well-refined vocabulary,
but that's a relatively small portion of the US population. The rest are in the
same boat that he is. Or, more appropriately, he's in the same boat that they
are, and knowing that makes him seem more approachable than someone who
graduated magna cum laude from an ivy league university. And attacking him on
his pronunciation can seem like an attack on them as well, so rather than
reducing his support, it can actually increase it. Weird, huh?
