Clinton campaign looking for backup on social media

Milwaukee, Wisconsin (CNN)Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign wants its supporters to step it up online. And are offering inside information for those who do.

In an email to supporters on Wednesday, Clinton's digital organizing director, Jess Morales Rocketto, asked for help making sure her message was "coming through loud and clear" on Facebook and Twitter. The email asks supporters to join a group that will get updates from Clinton's campaign headquarters about what to post on social media.

The email is also a tacit acknowledgment that Clinton's campaign is having trouble matching the size of Bernie Sanders' online community, particularly in tweeting about big moments in the election campaign.

Bad idea, team Clinton. But reading the tweets will be lots of fun.

... that, in large part, I'm sure, due to the age discrepancy, Clinton has less presence on social media. I stumbled into this site and saw the need for more presence and am trying to address it, but I'm constantly bumping into acronyms I don't understand (and neither does Google search). I don't have a smart phone and I did a "study" on Facebook and found that only 18 of my friends saw a post before it drifted so far away only the most fanatic would see it. I hope I can get on that list and help out however I can.

The fact that they even have to beg their supporters to be more of a presence on social media, tells me all I need to know about how out of touch they really are.

her message is "coming through loud and clear"? Umm, yes it is, that's why so many of us are supporting Bernie.

Power is where people think it is. And they no longer think it is with the Clintons. Put on some Dylan, reflect on the shift in the Spirit of the Age and where it left you behind, and watch the new world. The beauty of all things is in its impermanence, and that includes power.

Well...almost all things...

They freaking bought the Onion. Do they really need to own all media and have it all 100% biased against Bernie?
