Trump was all over the news, but Clinton’s scandals — or “scandals” — owned Twitter. There’s no question that Donald Trump dominated media coverage during the 2016 campaign....
But on Twitter, it was a different story.
Clinton’s use of a private email server during her time as SoS, ... and subsequent WikiLeaks releases that targeted her campaign and the Democratic Party, dominated Twitter discussions about the presidential election during 2016, according to a study put out by the data and polling firm Echelon Insights. (Echelon -founded .. run by a Republican pollster and strategist.)
Echelon compiled data from nearly 2 billion tweets about major news stories in 2016,... They tracked tweets that mentioned candidates [or] election-related controversies. Trump was the candidate mentioned more often, but it was Clinton’s issues that took center stage among the controversies.-snip-
ECHELON INSIGHTS [seriously summarized for brevity]
Clinton Email hacks & WikiLeaks = 33 million Tweets
Clinton's Private Email Server = 21 million Tweets
Clinton calling Trump supporters a “basket of deplorables” = 6 million Tweets
Trump's infamous 'Access Hollywood' tape = 5.2 million Tweets
... Did Clinton’s controversies generate so much attention on Twitter because people were defending her? Or was all the attention negative?
It might not matter. ...simply keeping those controversies alive likely guaranteed that they’d be on voters’ minds all the way through Election Day. There was probably no clearer example of this than FBI director James Comey reviving the private email server issue within days of the election.
Trump’s issues, on the other hand, seemed to blow over well before Election Day. That was undoubtedly helpful in his path to victory.

The bottom line is Clinton was sinking in a quagmire of deceit and lies that people discussed.
The MSM couldn't control the access of Twitter news to ignore, spin, and lie for Hillary Clinton.
And Clinton's illegal dealings and deceit are really much more than just 'scandals.'
Lock her up
And the harder the destructionists tried to play the moral equivalence game (see! Trump has bad things too!) the more people saw through their idiot level crap and then went to read up on Hillary’s (and the destructionist left) actual bad acts.
So, I’m gonna guess that Huffpoo’s reasoned advice is to double down on the stupid and cheer on as the destructionists dig their grave hole even deeper.
The media expressed outraged that emails were leaked.
The voters were outraged by the content of the leaked emails.
That’s the difference.
They didn’t actually double-down. They allude to defending her kept her negative business in the news for too long.
There was so much Clinton negative, they had no choice but to try and defend her.
Funny how none of this mentioned tweets on CGI, Bill the rapist, or Abedin-Weiner. I bet there’s more to the research and HuffPo cherry-picked.
Directly from the source of Eschelon:
More than half of the 10 most-tweeted-about stories were about political or election-related issues or, more commonly, about the politicians themselves.
“Trump consistently accounted for about 40% to 60% of the share of candidate mentions for the majority of the year leading up to the election, even during the primaries,” the blog notes. “Most of the time, this was roughly double that of Hillary Clinton’s share of mentions.”
IOW, Hillary did NOT dominate.

I was turn first to Huffington Post for news - or “news” -
Imo, they are actually doubling down on the stupid.
They’re doing anything they can to keep from admitting that their hand picked leaders are degenerate, filthy, career criminal scumbags and that they, the mindless drones who follow those scumbags are beneath contempt themselves.
Until they can do that honestly and abjectly, they’ll just keep digging that grave hole deeper and deeper.
Yep. That’s how you can tell who’s a patriot.
