What kinds of words would you use to describe your choice of candidate in the fall? USA TODAY interviewed<span style="color: Red;">*</span>people around the<span style="color: Red;">*</span>country and then looked at the words most commonly used to describe the candidates. A lot of it came down to their previous experience.
To compile<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Trump Nation<span style="color: Red;">*</span>and<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Clinton Nation,<span style="color: Red;">*</span>USA TODAY NETWORK reporters around the country went state by state to talk to voters about who they will be supporting in the general election. Each person provided a short description of who they were and then talked about why they supported Clinton or Trump. USA TODAY then pulled out the words that were used most and arranged to scale compared to other words that were used.
While there were definitely words of overlap — candidates names, the words like and know and country — the way the candidates were described differed on their records.
