Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign is well aware that the outcome of the first presidential debate on Monday isn't just about what the two candidates say on stage, but also about the conversation that takes place around it.
On a conference call with supporters this afternoon, a top aide to Clinton directly asked supporters to use social media during and after the debate at Hofstra University in New York to help shape the conversation positively around the Democratic nominee.
"Reporters certainly view what's happening online," Clinton's deputy communications director Christina Reynolds said, adding it is part of, "how they judge the debate and then how they call the debate -- who won, who lost."
"And this debate even more so," Reynolds added, "as they will actually be tracking analytics of social media."
The campaign's digital director Jenna Lowenstein -- who said that two of the campaign's goals for the night include amplifying Clinton's best moments online and influencing the narrative about who is winning -- told supporters the most "important thing" they can do to help Clinton during the debate is to show their online support for her "early and often."
"It's important that we're not just turning this into the Donald Trump show," Lowenstein said.
In order to do this, she advised supporters to use Clinton's name and handle on Twitter during the debate, as well as the official debate hashtags announced by the debate's organizing commission.
"Those two hashtags are going to curate the conversation that they're going to look at when they're measuring the conversation," Lowenstein explained.
"All those headlines you see the next day -- '50 Percent of People Tweeting Were Supporting Hillary' -- that's the conversation they're going to look at."
She instructed them to, "Tweet early, tweet her name, use those hashtags.”

“! Trump may not carry any bourough except staten Island....but he is going to get hundreds of thousands of vote from NYC.”
Trump should hold his first NYC rally in front of Clinton’s Brooklyn HQ. People should be holding signs saying, “Trump, the only NY’er in the race.”
Remember, folks: If you're going to be busy during the debate, you can type up your snarky, nasty comments now and set them on a timer to post like some brilliant, spontaneous thought right in the middle of it. I mean, you already know what you're going to say about it.
I also think both candidates should take a drug test before the debate. Who knows what Hillary will be pumped up with in order to make it through the night?
Right. It isn’t who wins the debate, it’s who THEY SAY won the debate.
Yepper!
And the MSM can do what they want with them.
Yer doin' it rong. Official debate hashtags - huh. These people understand nothing.
She’s still trying to rig the system!!!
By the way, I’m creeped out by her latest ad, with the evil witch’s hands on that little girl!!!!
I haven’t seen that one. I saw a new one tonight, though. She had an ad of women watching clips of various comments Trump made about women in the past like Rosie O’Donnell. I rolled my eyes at it, and I would think those comments are well known, but maybe she’ll reach some moderate undecided women with it. That’s obviously who she is targeting. She does a lot of anti-Trump ads. She’s trying to make it an election of why people shouldn’t vote for Trump, not why they should vote for her.
That very ad starts with a video clip of Hillary with her hands all over a little girl. I suppose it’s meant to contrast Hillary—the “women’s and girl’s advocate”—with the “insensitive” and “misogynist” Trump. But Hillary looks more like a creep than a comforter to me!!!!
One of her traveling, supporting “reporterettes” is now tweeting about this
