Hillary’s rallies get even smaller, while Bernie reaches 1 million donors

[Cheese Sandwich]

Hillary fights the Bernie surge by purchasing Facebook likes from overseas.

Sadly, this isn’t the first time that Clinton has tried to buy the appearance of likeability. In 2013, the Clinton State Department spent $630,000 to boost their Facebook page to more than 400,000 followers — the vast majority of which were located in a “click farm” in Cairo.

More recently, an audit done by Status People showed that only 44 percent of her Twitter followers are real people who actively use Twitter, and more than a half-million of her followers are completely fake. Additionally, her Facebook page has been padded with more than 46,000 followers located in Baghdad — more than in any U.S. city.

By comparison, Bernie Sanders’ Facebook and Twitter accounts tally more than 1 million followers each. More importantly, Sanders’s followers are 600% more active in sharing his message. This level of supporter engagement keeps Sanders trending in a continuous loop across social media platforms while Clinton only appears in bursts.

So how does this translate into actual support from people who will come out to vote?

Last month at a campaign stop in New Hampshire, Hillary Clinton drew 600 people to hear her speak at the University of New Hampshire. Two days later, Sanders drew more than 3,000 people at the same location.

10. I hope that leaves Bernie on track for Super Tuesday.

4. What is the correlation between "rally size" and online donations.

Her appearance at the University of New Hampshire wasn't intended to be a "rally". For the most part, Clinton hasn't had any "rallies" yet. She's too busy rolling out her proposals and how to fund them.

5. She can't do both?

Bernie is.

[George II]

8. ironically she has to buy click-farm services because she's the sort of campaigner who buys

click-farm services; now it's getting everyone to the primaries, to knowing their rival *Dems*, to refusing the same ol' same ol' in a party that's fought accountability to the voters

[SoapBox]

11. But she was real, real busy getting big $$$$$ in the Bay Area

of California a few days ago...4 different private fundraisers.

And now they have the "brass" to start sending out emails begging for just a dollar donation...from all the little people.

All her money grubbing makes me sick.
