Most Frequently Spoken Words at the Republican Debate

Here’s a supercut of the most frequently stated words (for the most part) from the Republican debate:

 
To make this, I transcribed the audio from the debate, found top 4 keywords using pattern, and then put those keywords through Videogrep. I decided to skip words like “america(n)(s)”, “people”, “country”, and “president” (these don’t tell us much about what the debate was really about), and add one random word from the top 20 (“destroy”).

Here’s a list of the top 40 words:
