Hillary's vs Bernie's word cloud on all social media on the internet

word cloud of all mentions related to Hillary Clinton during the month of November, through midnight Eastern time.

The graphic, via our analytics partners at Zignal Labs, does not exactly highlight the kinds of words you want to see if you work at Clinton headquarters in Brooklyn.






Democratic challenger Bernie Sanders actually garnered more attention online than Clinton during the past month. The Vermont senator was mentioned more than 2.8 million times across all forms of media, compared with 2.2 million mentions for Clinton.

And the Sanders mentions tended to be more positive. A viral Vine video showing a kid’s eyes perking up at a rally when the senator calls for removing the federal prohibition on marijuana was shared more than 110,000 times on Twitter alone last month. The clip, posted by a Los Angeles radio station, has now been viewed more than 25 million times:

Here is a word cloud tracking all mentions of Sanders in November:

Just in case you don't get the "conflict of interest" it is most of the upper level staff have worked directly for either Bill or Hillary Clinton. And the situation was reported back in October and again in this incidence by...wait for it...Bernie's group.

Not just some coincidence...fact. They have access to ALL of the data. Imagine the "thumb on the scales" just in that one fact.

I'd rather be accused of the latter than the former.

impending investigation. How do you spell Conflict of Interest? More Hmms and no apologies to the entire Democratic Party whose information HRC people gather and store and Have Control Over. Just imagine. If they can cut off Bernie's info on the turn of a dime, what about everyone else's?

Inquiring minds want to know. Apples and oranges. Systemic Control vs. a look-see Reported and Apologized for. It will come out then the Democrats (excepting HRC apologists) can choose, because that's what it's all about.

But as usual, it's all about HRH, I mean HRC. I predict the company will no longer have the current monopoly of Democratic candidates entire member files. It calls into question all of her "wins", even if not proven, if the Sanders group and the rest of the potentially damaged Democrats become upset...well, things could look very different very quickly.

the political spin, I have no doubt HRC can flick this off her suit for awhile. Probably just in time to add more tarnish to her already compromised Untrustworthy rating, and let the Republicans go at her full force.

Ergo, we lose. Part of me relishes the dirt that just seems to fly around the Clintons, but at this point in our country's history, my preference would be less so we don't look like complete Democratic Idiots, or so much that she has to back down through lack of support or just plain anger.

Remember, it's the Independents who usually make up that small percentage in the GE when it's a close call. They are not easily enamored of either...or they wouldn't be Independents.

The real reason DWS went along with few debates isn't because Secretary Clinton can't look poised and extremely well informed.

It's because lots of exposure sharpens the focus on her many stances over the years. It would remind the informed primary voter about history, and it would present them the opportunity to support a candidate that represents a repudiation of many of the choices people in our party have made. DWS wants to keep the focus soft, and the camera at a distance.

My 2 cents.
