The number of Twitter followers may have some intrinsic value in politics, and Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona seems to be no exception to this rule.
McCain tweeted Monday morning asking for assistance in gathering more followers to become one of the few sitting senators with at least three million followers.
"We're only 74 Twitter followers away from 3M - spread the word & help us reach this big milestone!," McCain's tweet said.
McCain's tweet seemed to have the opposite effect — he began steadily losing followers. As of this writing, McCain has 2,989,328, a big deficit from the 74 he originally requested.

Get it, yet, Senator McCain?
The senator has punked us so many times and now has been sent the message that we noticed.

They were just following him to keep tabs on him, not because they liked him.

Hillary only has 20M followers . . . looks like Donald wins the popular vote on Twitter as well. I’d call it a rout.
