Sanders wins on social media-again



candidate Bernie Sanders continued his reign over social media in a wide-ranging Thursday night Democratic debate that covered ISIS, the water crisis in Flint, Michigan, the death penalty and foreign policy.

In a poll published to the Twitter Government (@gov) account during the debate, Twitter users said they overwhelmingly identified as #FeelTheBern voters as opposed to #ImWithHer voters. The former, a hashtag popularly attributed to Sanders, received 49 percent of the votes, versus 22 percent for the latter hashtag, which is attributed to Clinton.

“Undecided” and “Other” received 13 and 16 percent, respectively.

........

Overall, Sanders saw more than 151,000 mentions on Twitter during the debate, according to social media monitoring group Brandwatch, compared to Clinton’s roughly 136,000 mentions.
