A phrase I began to hear this week, "Trump's shrinking base." Who uses twitter, can it be

made into a hashtag #TrumpsShrinkingBase?

I was curious about just how widespread use is so I searched, I use Bing, not google. Here are the search results at 8:58 PDT

Never mind all the coverage the media gives him and never mind all the AstroTurf support on social network sites, He lost the popular vote twice.

More fraud and fakery but how does one create a twitter hash tag, I might sign on to do it if users are allowed to create them.

Great hashtag. #TrumpsShrinkingBase

Personally I like Twitter a LOT. Much more than I ever liked Facebook. The key is who you follow. I'm heavy on journalism and journalists.

who are not on my phone or email contacts. I agree facebook is a cesspool. Twitter looks like fun but it is so vast, I know it will take some time to get the following list. I probably will eventually sign on there.
