Bernie Sanders- Now A FACEBOOK INFERNO [View all]



Share the BERN with Friends.........



Six days ago I wrote a post called "BERNIE is on FIRE on Facebook" where I stated that Bernie's Facebook activity is 2 times the amount of Hillary's.

A good 400-500 likes per hour vs Hillary's 200-300 likes per hour.

That was six days ago.

Want to know what the comparisson is now using the same web app Quintly?

Bernie's now getting 1,448 likes per hour. Hillary is getting 122.

In just 6 short days he now has OVER TEN TIMES THE AMOUNT OF FACEBOOK ACTIVITY when compared to Hillary. Going from Hillary beating him, to Bernie getting two times, and now over ten times?

That's 35,703 per day vs Hillary's 2,920.

And this is just in six days. (2 weeks if you go back to when Hillary was leading using this metric)

At this rate... Bernie will catch up to Hillary in total likes.... in just under 10 more days.



Bernie is a full blown social media inferno. Just look at this chart of activity over the last hour:


Look at all that light blue! (Bernie is the light blue)


That combined with the humongous crowds that he has been getting just shows you how much the Democratic voters are hungry for this guy.

We want real change.

We want the truth.

We want someone who is fighting for us.

Bernie is reawakening the same hopes that brought Obama to power.
