Overall mentions of potential 2016 candidates on Twitter.
If name mentions on social media were a gauge of how well a candidate’s message was being received, the 2016 race would be a battle between Hillary Clinton and Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas).
On Twitter, Mr. Cruz is the most-mentioned potential presidential candidate. On Facebook, Mrs. Clinton wins. Both have significant leads over the other, according to data provided by the social networks.
The two differ on their approach to social media almost as much as they differ in politics. Mr. Cruz, with more than 404,000 followers, tweets about 31 times a week. As contrast, Mrs. Clinton has 2.83 million followers on Twitter and tweets about once a week. On Facebook, Mr. Cruz has more than two million likes when his two Facebook pages are combined. Mrs. Clinton does not maintain a Facebook presence.
While he has not taken directly to jabbing his likely 2016 rivals, as Sen. Rand Paul (R., Ky.) has done, Mr. Cruz does consistently attack President Barack Obama on health care, immigration and foreign policy....

Cruz is the real deal if we want to try to get Fedzilla back into its Constitutional cage.
The RNC and the Cheap Labor Express are sparing no expense to make sure we can’t nominate him.
I wonder how many of Shillary’s tweetsies are fraudulent (paid to follow, or made up).
From what I’ve read, pretty much everybody pads their Tweater stats.
That’s how Baraq Obama got to #3 in followers worldwide.
All the rest of the top 10 are “celebs”
Ping!
CRUZ or LOSE!Very interesting. I don’t know how much credence to give it since there is so phoniness with social media statistics.

That’s exactly what he should do. I’m sick of candidates that hate their Republican opponents but give the fascist dictator a free pass.
Now, I don’t know much about Cruz except what I’ve read and I’ve never seen him speak. But as someone who has argued and won in front of the SC, I’d gather he’s quick on his feet and articulate. Can anyone let me know?
