The level of project with this article is amazing. Hillary had an army of paid people who pushed messages on social media. After the election that same group morphed into Shareblue run by David Brock. They have a budget of 7 million a month and their trolls show up everywhere.

Trump’s online supporters by contrast were/are completely organic. No centralized messaging, going off topic frequently with little to no order in how they operated.

Mercer was originally a huge backer of Ted Cruz. He in fact gave control of the PAC to a Glenn Beck affiliate. That’s why you saw Glenn Beck with Cruz at the rallies.

Yes it is, and really the only reason I bothered to post it. You can bet that if a commie/socialist/democrat makes and accusation its because they are already doing it.

the millions of Twitter bots President Trump counts on as followers

Oh, you mean the same ones who regularly show up at any and all of his rallies, by the tens of thousands?...Those "bots"?

Wtf? One doesn’t need a mega donor or a computer genius to create bots for social media. You just need one typical engineer or hacker.

If true, so what?

Both Barry and Cankles had fake Twitter and fakebook accounts.

Fake news and more innuendo: “..who could be employed to target voters with misleading or fake news on social media..” Note it doesn’t say they have been employed to do that, but “could be”. The Left is pitiful.

“..sources told the Daily News..”
probably a wino down at skid row.

The Daily News is a scum newspaper and has always been. If they ever publish an accurate story it is by accident.
