Am pray so. Trump is relying on Twitter and Facebook to counter attack. Will that be enough? Are enough people in Florida, Michigan etc followers to get the messages out that refute the ads

I think the difference is that more people are on Facebook and Twitter than watch network programming.

Most people watch TV in an “On Demand” mode these days due to their schedules.

Twitter and Facebook can mount a defense against lies very quickly. The old ways of creating an ad to counter another ad takes too long these days.

More people also use the Internet for their news source. Thus lies can be countered more quickly and in more places than waiting for print media to catch up.

For an almost 70 year old, Trump is using social media and the Internet is the most effective manner we have seen for a Republican candidate.

This is old hat to the Dems.

I wonder if, with today’s technologies, there needs to be put into place a Follow Up the Vote type of program where people can confirm their vote, and have the option to make it public if they wish. Something, some way to shine the Light of Jesus into the Depths of their Darkness.

I posted this yesterday. Purely anecdotal, but I passed the Supervisor of Elections office in my county in FL and there were only Trump signs and supporters planted outside...
