Yes, its true. Hillary had far more facebook ads than Trump. These articles from yesterday and today that suggest Trump had more data than Hillary are all crap. These companies all like to say that they have the secret sauce to produce the winners in the last election. Like the jockeys on a winning horse say they are responsible for the horses win. This is all marketing by these marketing analytic companies.
Trump did not win by better analytics. He won with a better message, a better candidate, and working harder. Trump was out spent ten to one. He had a very small team. And they used trump and his rallies to get out the message. There was a noticeable PR presence for Trump. Plus Trump was fighting a very pro-Hillary. Oh and by the way, Trump won without the support of his own party.
The only way this can happen is if the message was so spot on with the people, that he did not need all the things that money can buy a candidate. He just needed his message and not to be Hillary Clinton.
It was easy enough to deduce that Facebook was a tool of the Deep State.
Wait. I thought Facebook gave the Trump campaign unfettered access to their database...
In the aftermath of the 2012 election, there were several articles with interviews of the Obama campaign tech folks who were quite proud of their expertise at doing this. They also put swarms of tracking cookies on computers visiting their sites - well beyond what anyone else was doing.
As for Facebook in particular? That’s what its business model is: To collect data to create consumer and psychological profiles. Your posts, your likes, all of it goes into creating a model of you - both directly, and those of your friends..
They’ve even published scientific papers describing some of their experiments on their customer base, including testing manipulability of various groups of people.
This isn’t tin-foil hat stuff. It is WHAT THE BUSINESS IS.
Wow! I am absolutely shocked......shocked, I tell you.....
Both 2008 and 2012 were election plays with McCain and Romney playing the role of Designated Loser.
McCain was the first Presidential candidate that ever practically endorsed his opponent.
What a revelation! Next thing they’ll tell us is that water is WET!
I think there is a better than even chance that we are going to find out that our political system is a sham.
After 2000 when Bush and Gore were counting chads in Florida, you would think that one or the other political party would have pushed for election reform to combat voter fraud. Nope. The system was working fine. Nothing needed to be changed.
2008 was odd, with the financial crisis suddenly occurring, and McCain basically stopping his campaign for awhile. As you say, 2012 was odd with Romney fighting hard in the primaries, and winning the first general debate and then seemingly giving up. And Hillary losing in 2016? Why was the media so sure of that outcome? They knew she had it. It was a done deal. And when she lost? They just couldn’t believe it. It’s all been weird for about 20 years.
Q has indicated that some of what has been going on will never be made known to the public. Will they tell us if the elections have been mostly rigged? Would that be too much? Because that’s the sort of thing that can start a revolution.
FreeRepublic could become a multi-billion dollar company like Facebook if they added image, a ‘friends’ list, and some other details.
FR was around long before Facebook and should have been just as big.
Now we have to deal with the suck, because JimRob didn’t want to ‘sell out to the man’ or something...
We LIKE capitalism here Jim!
Let me an Laz make the changes and take over half the business from FB.
Not to mention dim-bulb Maxine Waters:
“Well, I don’t know. The thing I think some people are missing here is the president has put in place an organization that contains the kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life,” Waters answered, unprompted. “That’s going to be very, very powerful.”...
“That’s right,” Waters responded. “That database will have information about everything on every individual in ways that it’s never been done before. Whoever runs for president on the Democratic ticket has to deal with that.”
“They’re going to go down with that database and the concerns of those people because they can’t get around it, and [Obama has] been very smart. It’s very powerful what he’s leaving in place. I think that’s what any Democratic candidate will have to deal with.”
Didn’t Google set up an office INSIDE the Obama White House? What do you think THAT was about??
And yet Hillary lost anyway. Has to be THE WORST candidate in history.
And yet the most incredible thing....is that the Republican IDIOTS are actually registering outrage, oblivious to the idea that obama was toasted as a digital genius for having done precisely the same thing in 2008 and 2012.
And anyone who has signed up for FB understands they volunteered their information when they signed up. Unless they are too stupid, and that ought not be ruled out. That is why my FB membership lasted about 45 minutes. When I realized what an absolute security nightmare FB is, not just in this aspect but in dozens of other ones as well, I completely freaked out.
On THIS they demand an investigation. They just can’t get more stupid. They couldn’t get more stupid if they took stupid lessons. They couldn’t get more stupid if they incorporated satanic rituals into their diversity pavilions.
MAXINE WATERS: “The President has put in place an organization with the kind of database that no one has ever seen before in life.
That’s going to be very, very powerful."
Waters added: "That database will have information about everything on every individual on ways that
it’s never been done before and whoever runs for President on the Democratic ticket has to deal with that."
" They’re going to go down with that database and the concerns of those people because they can’t get around it."
" And he’s [President Obama] been very smart. It’s very powerful what he’s leaving in place."
=========================================
Too bad Obama's smart*** database didnt help Hillary (smirk).
Boo Hoo! If only Hillary had won......
What that means is Facebook is so in bed with the Drive-By Media they are practically their comforter.
Unreported in-kind contributions?
Hard to prove.........................
Why anybody would use Facebook is beyond my ability to comprehend.
“Unreported in-kind contributions?”
Criminally so.
Just TODAY it was either AP or Yahoo who ran an article claiming that Facebook was allowing some company for Trump to mine data from Fakebook - all complete fake news.
