Twitter Just Unleashed on Hillary Clinton and It Is Savage [View all]

From my face book feed yesterday.

After Hillary Clinton’s upset loss in the Indiana primary, the hashtag #DropOutHillary has been trending all day on Twitter, garnering over 200,000 tweets.

Hillary Clinton is getting blasted on all sides from Twitter users, and many of the top tweets on the #DropOutHillary hashtag are coming from women and people of color — two demographics that traditionally vote for the former Secretary of State over Bernie Sanders.

Isn't this OP LWolf May 2016 #7

Easy to debunk a lot of what the good doctor says Jitter65 May 2016 #88

This is GE ammo against the Democratic candidate. If Skinner Hortensis May 2016 #24

Until then... NWCorona May 2016 #40

Yes, until then Andy823 May 2016 #95

That's not really the point is it? More like censorship and thought control. NWCorona May 2016 #97

Exactly. Shadowflash May 2016 #102

Yes,"Skinner, please think of the children" bahrbearian May 2016 #45

Lol! artislife May 2016 #85

zing! TheDormouse May 2016 #86

Yes, just ignore it! That'll make it go away! vintx May 2016 #47

Think! There is real difference between arguing Hortensis May 2016 #56

Many progressives simply don't think she can win. vintx May 2016 #58

Of course, but this is an ORCHESTRATED ATTACK. Hortensis May 2016 #61

No, it's an organic reaction to a 'dropoutbernie' hashtag vintx May 2016 #64

Yeah we all should march in lock step and be good little Stepfords. Cobalt Violet May 2016 #69

Good analogy. That is what it sounds like. No democracy, just follow orders. n/t RKP5637 May 2016 #105

And now the call for censorship timmymoff May 2016 #89

Yes. This is a private forum to promote Democratic Hortensis May 2016 #90

We aren't in general election though one candidate claims to be . timmymoff May 2016 #91

Trump's moved to the GE. The experts are discussing it. Hortensis May 2016 #93

Hillary should concentrate on getting bernie supporters to vote for her if she wins. timmymoff May 2016 #94

"I'm thinking she needs to drop out." zappaman May 2016 #96

Timmy may be entirely sincere. But zealots on both sides are alike Hortensis May 2016 #99

We are not in the GE. arcane1 May 2016 #106

The dark money locusts, the GOP, and Trump didn't bother Hortensis May 2016 #108

Republicans don't make my decisions for me n/t arcane1 May 2016 #109

Arcane1, we have nothing to do with it. Hortensis May 2016 #110

It's sad that some take tweets as a genuine indicator of anything Tarc May 2016 #2

I wouldn't know, since I don't tweet. LWolf May 2016 #5

its the lowest of the low CorkySt.Clair May 2016 #62

Last gasps of Bernie's dying campaign. Pretty sad. n/t Onlooker May 2016 #8

It really is sad Demsrule86 May 2016 #14

Funny but #dropouthillary is in response to Hill supporters and Repubicans hash tagging Luminous Animal May 2016 #59

Yeah, funny that... arikara May 2016 #79

I find it hilarious how Hillarians always discredit social media pinebox May 2016 #9

par LWolf May 2016 #10

It's pretty damned hilarious LWolf May 2016 #115

Sanders better be spending that money of his on false twitter accounts. factfinder_77 May 2016 #12

Bernie doersn't need false twitter accounts pinebox May 2016 #18

^^---^^ TimPlo May 2016 #25

That's Hillary's job. Except she uses our money to do it n/t arcane1 May 2016 #107

The unofficial propaganda arm of the Sanders campaign says something, so it must be true mythology May 2016 #13

perfect! Demsrule86 May 2016 #16

It amazes me how Hillary supporters brush off the power of social media Matt_in_STL May 2016 #17

It's "Hill-arious" considering Facebook co-sponsored the first debate pinebox May 2016 #19

Also, it must be due to social media that Bernie can set a rally for 5 hours in advance and pdsimdars May 2016 #23

Indeed. They can brush it off with their "3 million votes" false equivalency Matt_in_STL May 2016 #33

Because we count the winner of an leftynyc May 2016 #72

It is a false equivalency because caucuses don't tally votes, but delegates Matt_in_STL May 2016 #74

Fine - we'll go with the leftynyc May 2016 #76

Their candidate doesn't get it, either. Lizzie Poppet May 2016 #38

Her supporters are in denial. Her campaign knows what's up vintx May 2016 #50

Typical. Bobbie Jo May 2016 #21

History says losers fall in line, what risk is there that any Clinton outreach will be unrequited? HereSince1628 May 2016 #26

The internet has childish people? Dem2 May 2016 #27

Twitter was mean to somebody? Skinner May 2016 #28

People should not discount social media Marrah_G May 2016 #29

I have to admit that I don't get it. LWolf May 2016 #30

This thread illustrates perfectly why Trump stands a reasonable chance of being our next President. Trust Buster May 2016 #31

Your last two sentences have been very obvious for months now. George II May 2016 #51

Why count delegates when we can count tweets instead? (nt) Nye Bevan May 2016 #32

If your "campaign strategy" now consists of Blue_Tires May 2016 #34

That can't possibly be "my" "campaign strategy" LWolf May 2016 #37

"Your" = "Berniestans" Blue_Tires May 2016 #43

"Emoprogs" "Dudebros" Oh, look: it's the 4chan contingent from Camp Weathervane! Lizzie Poppet May 2016 #39

And I'll tell you something that's not so funny Blue_Tires May 2016 #46

I guess that will make you feel better than blaming your candidate Matt_in_STL May 2016 #60

Bernie for POFB&T LuvLoogie May 2016 #35

ONLY a woman candidate with such a huge lead would be asked to drop out. JaneyVee May 2016 #36

+1 iandhr May 2016 #44

Wasn't this hashtag a response to the (far less popular) one calling for Bernie to drop out? vintx May 2016 #52

No. And Bernie is in 3rd place behind Trump. JaneyVee May 2016 #53

LOL, yes it is... Omg please pay attention. vintx May 2016 #65

Pay attention to what? leftynyc May 2016 #73

Brave twitter warriors. iandhr May 2016 #42

Brave Twitter warriors...you should probably educate yourself Matt_in_STL May 2016 #63

Those were dictatorships. iandhr May 2016 #70

But surely, those demographics are just as sexist and racist as the rest of the Berniebros? Betty Karlson May 2016 #103

$16 million dollars in a "digital presence" at work. The hashtag is a revelation of all those synergie May 2016 #104

Twitter-huh-am I suppose to be nervous...I'm not on it so I want to make sure I get the right all american girl May 2016 #111

Anyone tweeting that should just stamp "sore loser" on their forehead and be done with it. Lucinda May 2016 #112

Hopefully most of them are aware - allegedly Dan May 2016 #113

I wish I could say LWolf May 2016 #116

So did it work? Did Hillary drop out today? Blue_Tires May 2016 #118

It worked just about as well LWolf May 2016 #119

Which has never been me, so you can direct that comment elsewhere... Blue_Tires May 2016 #120

That comment is a simple response to your question. LWolf May 2016 #121
