Trump dominated the debate in terms of time and total word count. 56% of the debate's words were delivered by Trump.

His unique word count, however, was lower than Clinton's both in absolute and relative terms. He delivered 1,176 unique words (14.8% of his total word count) to Clinton's 1,328 (21.3% of her total word count).

Clinton used more words that Trump did not. She delivered a total of 1,048 words that her opponent did not say, 70.5% of these being unique. Trump said 1,130 words that Clinton did not use and only 51.9% of these were unique. Using the number of these words as a measure, Clinton distinguished herself better from her opponent.

Stop words are words like "and", "of" and "in" (full list). The fraction of stop words for both Clinton and Trump was similar—about 56-59%.

Clinton delivered more non-stop content. 43.5% of her words were non-stop, compared to Trump's 41.2%. Furthermore, unique words made up 44% of these, as opposed to Trump's 31.6%.

This is an interesting table and hints at how repetitive a debater's delivery is. If we exclude stop words, then Clinton repeated a word on average 2.3 times. Trump on the other hand, repeated a word on average 3.2 times.

When we look at the content exclusive to each candidate, Clinton repeated words that Trump did not use only 1.4 times. Trump, on the other hand, repeated the words that Clinton did not use about 2 times.

Clinton's average sentence length was about 15 words. About 6.5 of those words were non-stop words. She delivered 429 sentences.

Trump delivered +65.0% (708 vs 429) more sentences and their non-stop content was –27.7% (4.7 vs 6.5) shorter than Clinton's. This was apparent during the debate—Trump would start a sentence without finishing the previous one.

Here the analysis heavily depends on the punctuation in the transcript.

Trump delivered –13.1% (986 vs 1,135) fewer total unique nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs. Both candidates had a similar relative ratio of each part of speech, about a 44:30:20:6 ratio.

However, Clinton delivered +10.3% (558 vs 506) more unique nouns and +22.3% (389 vs 318) more unique verbs. This suggests that her content had more ideas and more actions.

Trump slightly edged Clinton by +6.2% (275 vs 259) on the use of adjectives.

We've already seen that Trump repeated his words more. This table looks at how this repetition breaks down by part of speech.

For example, Clinton repeated her nouns –24.0% (2 vs 2.63) less and her verbs –25.6% (2.01 vs 2.7) less than Trump.

Trump had a very high repetition rate of adverbs, +56.3% (3.94 vs 2.52) higher than Clinton.

Clinton had +21.1% (2,685 vs 2,218) more unique noun-verb pairings than Trump and +54.7% (857 vs 554) more unique verb-verb pairings. This suggests that she spoke more in terms of action concepts and compound actions.

The words that Clinton used that Trump did not use were more diverse in every part of speech.

For example, she used +23.0% (348 vs 283) more nouns that Trump did not use, +41.8% (224 vs 158) more verbs, +5.4% (157 vs 149) more adjectives and +42.9% (30 vs 21) more verbs.

The total number of concepts, as measured by noun phrases was similar between both candidates, with Clinton having slightly more (+5.8% (237 vs 224)). The length of the noun phrases was very similar between the candidates.

The number of exclusive noun phrases to each candidate was also similar, about 220.

Interestingly, the candidates only referenced 17 concepts that the other mentioned as well. Among these were Barack Obama, biggest tax cuts, fair share, first place, good deal, wealthy people, white house and worst things.

Trump's Windbag Index is off the chart, +490.0% (1,003 vs 170) larger than Clinton's. This is a dubious accomplishment and is almost twice as high as I've seen in all previous debates. In fact, the highest I've seen previously was 754, delivered by Romney in his 2nd debate vs Obama.

Clinton's Index is surprisingly low—perhaps even too low?

Word clouds are fun, even if they're very 1990's.

What did Clinton talk about? "Think", "people", "good" and "well" are all common words. As is "nuclear" and "American" and "important".

Trump repeated "country", "many", "just" and had a balance of "good" and "bad".

These clouds are fun because they show what the other candidate didn't say.

Shockingly, Trump never said "American" (only in the context of "African-American", which Clinton said many times too). He also didn't say "justice", "working", "everyone" and "information".

Trump, on the other hand, said "politicians", "agree" (surprise here), "tremendous" (no surprise here) and "totally".

If we look at nouns unique to each speaker, Clinton's "justice", "information" and "everyone" stand out. Trump focused on "politicians", "nobody" and "chicago".

If we look at verbs unique to each speaker, Clinton's "working", "provide" and "invest" counters Trump's "leaving", "agree" and "losing".

I still can't believe that Trump never said "American" or "foreign". Clinton didn't say "tremendous" or "greatest" (thankfully).

Clinton had "deeply" and "finally" and "basically" while Trump said "totally", "soon" and "extremely". There's a sentence right there for you: "totally extremely soon".

The tag clouds for each part of speech above are combined in this cloud.

Clinton has "working", "american" and "information" and Trump has "tremendous", "countries" "leaving".

These are all the unique part of speech pairs for each candidate. Keep in mind that some words may be misclassified by the tagger, if their role in the sentence is highly contextual.

Pairs unique to Clinton were "jobs rising", "need communities" and "new jobs".

Trump had "bring monye", "bring back", "billions bring" and "inner cities".
