What a contrast between how Bernie & Hillary utilize the social media. He is nimbly and ably debating the GOP candidates, LIVE, and without any focus groups or consultants, and using the GOP debate to gain at least 10,000 followers. HRC is doing selfies with Kardashian and West at yet another fundraiser.

During the #GOPDebate @BernieSanders gained over 10k new followers on Twitter with the hash tag #DebateWithBernie
