The Clinton Campaign Will Fight You On Twitter
The Huffington Post's Huffpost Politics ^ | April 22, 2016 | Jason Linkens, editor, Eat The Press

Over the course of the Democratic presidential primary, Hillary Clinton’s principal argument against Bernie Sanders has been that his agenda — universal health care, free college tuition, et al. — is impractical, too utopian, too “pie in the sky.” This is especially true, she says, given the structural obstacles in the way. Sanders is promising to do the impossible; she, on the other hand, is the candidate who can Get Things Done.

In other news, the Clinton campaign is planning to spend a lot of money in an effort to finally “correct” the internet. OK, then!

As The Daily Beast’s Ben Collins reports, Correct The Record — the pro-Clinton PAC run by Media Matters founder David Brock — is “pledging to spend $1 million to ‘push back against’ users on Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and Instagram.”

In a press release, Correct The Record outlined its strategy to use time and money in an incredibly savvy and not-at-all-bewildering way....

Don’t look for arguments from these characters. Expect noise.

“Free speech” to Progressives has always meant shouting down opposing viewpoints.

She is in worse shape than most "outsiders" realize, and is on medication avoiding critically needed surgery and specialized treatment.
She has had numerous fainting spells, brain clots and other health problems, carefully hidden.

Her occasional intense fits of rage would certainly give Trump's hyperbole reputation a run for the money.

I have read so many Hillary books lately I have lost track of all the credible reports on her sad physical condition, but I am looking for specific credible documentation.

The Alt Right will have a lot of fun with this.

Everything the Clinton campaign attempts on Twitter always backfires spectacularly.

There have been “Internet Opinion Engineering” Firms and “Social Justice Organizations” running hiring ads for Internet shills for a year now.

Look up NextWave,LLC, for just one example.

Are these more fake twitter accounts? Bots can’t actually engage... I hardly see any Hillary fans on twitter... tons of Bernie and Trump.Major news outlet posts... again, almost no Hillary people. I think they’re afraid to be trolled
