Bad sign if he runs. I did a term paper this semester on the digital campaigns of Trump and Clinton, and my conclusion was basically that Trump wiped the floor with Clinton because he was able to use Twitter to become more "authentic" while Clinton seemed distant and cold via her digital campaign.

How did your term paper account for only 15-20% of Americans using Twitter? I don’t doubt it helped but this is why I’m also skeptical of “Twitter bots were decisive!” claims.
