Social Media is something that the Republican Party has always been lousy on. Note that Donald Trump has almost accumulated as many followers as Shrillary Clinton in a short time and almost all of them are REAL.

There’s other Jim Gilmore’s with more followers than the Jim Gilmore running for president! I had to double check that one as I was sure I was pulling from the wrong handle.

I will probably do this every week or so to track the trending. So yes, I guess I'll start a ping list for this.

Just doing what the conventional media won't!

Hillary’s twitter ads get few retweets and likes (oops, star favorites).

There’s no enthusiasm for her among her followers.

I like numbers so here goes...

Total of the Twitter numbers provided
13,649,454

Republican percentage of them 60.7%
8,278,989

Democrat percentage of them 39.3%
5,370,465

Trump took 41.18% of the Republican numbers
3,409,127

Hillary took 73.7% of the Democrat numbers
3,958,846

Republican numbers Trump didn’t take (35.68% of all numbers)
4,869,862

Democrat numbers Hillary didn’t take (26.29% of all numbers)
1,411,619

These numbers reveal massive strength for Trump. In a field of 16, he has 41.18% of the Republican tweets.

Overall he has 4.87 million more numbers to draw from in his party when things tighten.

Hillary has 1.41 million more numbers to draw from in her party when things tighten.

If she got all other numbers in her group, she would have 5,370,465

If Trump did, he’d have 8,278,989

Nothing scientific, but still interesting.

Poor Jebra. That pretty new dress and nowhere to wear it after January 2017.

Trump had big numbers based on fame alone long before he ever said anything about politics

I saw that Ted Cruz had two accounts with large number of followers. I went with the @tedcruz one because that appears to be the one for his presidential campaign.

I like that analysis.

As weeks go on, it will be interesting to see where the trends are. Who's moving up in followers and who is moving down.

Those are not just President followers. I’ll bet 70%+ are from the TV shows.

I agree. I wonder how they break all this out.

It would be interesting to know if they broke them down so only the ones addressing politics were used.

BTW, 99% of the Tweets could have been negative too. LOL

Thank you. I agree it would be nice to watch the trends. I also wonder what the overall favorables are.

How did the numbers for Hillary break down. 99.99% anti and 0.01% pro. LOL

Don’t be surprised if they use your work.
I follow Trump on FB. Not uncommon for likes to be 80 plus by the time I get there

Followers increase daily

Perhaps but a month ago, Trump was only around 2.4 million. Also, those TV fans who don’t support his candidacy will eventually unfollow him.
