What do the Twitter accounts of the presidential candidates tell us?

If Twitter voted for the Presidential Primary, it would be Hillary Clinton (3.81 million) versus Donald Trump (3.11 million), according to website Spokeo.com.

The contest might be even closer, using twitteraudit.com – we find that a full 35% of Hillary’s followers are fake followers (based on Twitter Audit’s metrics – number of tweets, date of last tweet, ratio of followers to friends – but this may be a hold over from the last campaign and previous followers). On the Republican side, Chris Christie fares even worse with 57% of his followers being fake.

Other info gleamed from their twitter profiles:

Jeb Bush follows Pitbull

Martin O’Malley follows Ray Rice

Bernie Sanders follows Lewis Black

Rick Perry follows iwantcamgirls? Ooops…
