About 24 hours since I reset my stats for September so wanted to get this out there to show where the momentum is.
After gaining nearly 600,000 new followers in August, Trump is once again way in the lead, pulling in an amazing 20,000+ followers in just the past 24 hours.
Ben Carson - the "surging surgeon" - has picked up nearly 5,000 new followers in the same time period.
The rest of the pack are far behind with poor George Pataki not getting any love at all. Not a single person in the United States - or the world for that matter - decided to follow him today. I might just follow him myself out of pity.
On the Democrat side, the soon to be indicted (one should hope) Shrillary Clinton grabbed more followers than self-proclaimed socialist Bernie Sanders. It looks like the "Bernie" wave might be fading. In August, Bernie accumulated more new followers than The Hildebeast. Look for Joe Biden or the fake Indian to jump into the race by month end.
I also added Mitt Romney to the mix because some very awful rumors are circulating that he might be drafted into the race as the establishment favorite, being that Jebbie Bush is dying an agonizing political death (4% in an Iowa poll today!)
Sarah Palin is in there because I like her and there's nothing anybody can do about that. I get a kick out of the fact that Sarah Palin accumulated more followers today than the following:
Chris Christie
Rick Perry
John Kasich
Mitt Romney
Bobby Jindal
Rick Santorum
Linda Graham
Mike Huckabee
Jim Gilmore
George Pataki
In fact, I picked up a new Twitter follower today so I'm doing even better than George Pataki.

*Shrillary Clinton is under investigation for mishandling classified information and betraying the United States of America, she faces indictment and imprisonment. Also, she is a cheater as over 1/3 of her Twitter Followers are confirmed as FAKE.
Thanks for your work and posting the results.
More reality versus beltway and NYC pundit bs!
Thanks, and I forgot to mention that Donald Trump went over 4 millions followers today - sometime earlier this afternoon. At this pace, he’ll be passing Shrillary Clinton in total followers by the middle of this month. And many of her followers are FAKE.
I don’t really get Twitter. Unlike Facebook, Twitter doesn’t seem user friendly.
On Facebook you post stuff on your “Home” page, you can see it, and you see replies and conversations.
On Twitter, when I post something, I don’t know where it goes and you don’t really seem to have your own “home page”.
Carson is doing something right.
It’s a little arcane and geared towards the mobile user.
More good news for Trump and bad news for the Shrew.
Fascinating metric, SamAdams76. Thanks for your work.
Trump more than all other GOP combined
