Posts from Donald Trump’s social media campaign and his supporters had a more positive tone than that of his rival, with effective reach for slogans, policy promises and campaigning for swing states.

end of discussion.

"Donald Trump supporters were more likely to share news reports from less credible sources, the study found."

Highly doubt that.

I found through out the campaign that a lot of people were not aware of just how rotten the Clintons are and what they did in their lives, even before they got into politics...

By Wiki Leaks and some of us on here that lived through the Clinton years had information that backed up the Wiki Leak files...

That is why the people didn’t trust rotten Clinton, she is an evil, vile, filth that is the slime that snakes crawl upon, she is a killer, and wouldn’t blink an eye to have someone kill you if she thought you were in her way...she lies, she steals, she is way past what people in the Mob are...

The Lord was listening to all of us Patriots that elected President Trump and the truth is coming out about years of corruption in D.C. and the people that work there, the House, the Senate and those lobbyists and super pacs that take money from us and give to blackmailers, foreign countries that don’t have our interests at heart...

Yes she lost because of pure out right evil...and she will pay for it all, if not here on earth, when the Lord looks her in the eyes...

Thank you Lord for hearing our prayers and helping us elect a man that loves this country and her people and wants to bring God back into people’s lives. Amen.

From my reading, Hillary Clinton got all her votes, and then some, out of most target urban areas. Detroit was lower than for Obama. Cleveland and Milwaukee may have come in lighter than for Obama. None of those are the principal reasons Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton. She lost because she alienated working class white men while she targeted all the latest Democrat identity groups at ther expense, while he was the change agent who motivated huge numbers in Republican districts to turn out and vote for change.

Let’ see...

3,500 tweets determined this election, where the Democrat party heavily outspent Trump, especially in the early going...

WikiLeaks releases emails from the Clinton campaign and Podesta, most of them not flattering to the candidate, and even to this day, no one from either camp has disclaimed responsibility and ownership of those emails. Even as they're busy shooting themselves in the foot repeatedly, the thrust of their concerns is not about the emails themselves and their explosive content, it's about who leaked them! This is not indicative of people with normal thought processes...

This “study” seems to have a lot of gaps in it, and frankly, I have a lot of trouble wrapping my head around it...

And again, if this study has a point, what is it? Hillary was the worst and weakest candidate the Dems have put up in decades, and not only that, she's doing stuff like passing out (caught by a surreptitious camera), and then denying it, while demanding to know who took that film!

On the other hand, the Republican candidate went through 17 opponents with amazing efficiency, and then dispatched the heavily favored Democrat opponent with similar ease.

Even if we give Hillary the benefit of the doubt on the popular vote thing, that edge came from California, after the election was decided.

For these people (I see this is from India, of all places!), it's never gonna be over because they lost.

And from these reprobates, that can never be accepted.

CA....

Trump seems to be from the class of miracles that unexpectedly happen when the very last of all hope has finally left the building and you know it ain't ever coming back.

If WikiLeaks played a key role in Trump being elected, it would be because they did the work the American press refused to do then and still refuses to do now.

Not that I blame the American investigative press, wherever they are, not really, given how being added to the ever growing Clinton Death list is always a likely possibility for anyone doing actual investigative reporting these days.

And, with no truth allowed nor wanted, with obvious references and accepted standards being abandoned and historical definitions being rewritten and then rewritten again, I saw no way out for the good ol' USA. We had been given over.

The malware had won. The system was totally phocked up and locked up. We had become progressively trapped by and finally trapped in our political soap opera.

And then, "unexpectedly", along came Donald J. Trump!

Not long ago, America had become trapped in a similar way. The system had become locked up and we, the people, were being progressively locked out. We were in desperate need of a reset.

And then, along came Ronald Reagan!

I hope we do better with Trump's reset than we did with Reagan's.

WikiLeaks Helped Donald Trump Win US Presidential Elections: Study

Correction: Hillary’s poor judgment, bad decision making and criminal tendencies helped Donald Trump win the election. Wikileaks has nothing to post if she doesn’t do all that.

Typical fake news. Wikileaks had very little impact on normal voters. It was just too abstract for them to grasp it and the media’s slanted reporting blunted it’s impact.

Second, President Trump was the worst candidate imaginable; nothing he did helped his candidacy at all, except with racists, sexists, bigots, and the rest of the basket of deplorables.
