Donald Trump added nearly a million followers over past month. Shrillary and Bernie neck and neck in follower growth. Cruz and Kasich well behind.

I’ve read that a large percentage of Hitlery’s twitter followers are fake. That should be factored in. :-)

Wow, I didn’t realize Cruz had gone down so much...wasn’t he at 1,200,000 roughly just before his comments regarding the Chicago riot/protest?

I also did not realize Trump was so high...and gaining!

Speaking of those many twitter followers Hillary started out with:

Bloomberg, so I won’t quote, but the relevant part is about the tens of thousands of twitter bots he ran as a campaign dirty trickster.

Kasich may have more Twitter followers than he’s had voters. His 70,000 new followers are just a footnote compared with Trump or Cruz, but I’m still impressed that so many people noticed he’s in the race.

On 2/1/16, Cruz had 758,721 Twitter followers. I think it was discovered later that the drop reported for Cruz was incorrect.
