2. That graph doesn't make sense.

It looks like the Bernie line is WAY up until you look at the scale printed on the vertical axis. The way she has it set up time goes horizontally from left to right, but hits start at zero at the top of the vertical axis and increase as one moves down instead of increasing as one moves up as in virtually every other line graph one could make.

(I assume that's hits on the vertical axis, though we don't know 'per day,' 'per week,' 'per month' because the axis is POORLY labeled).

All that aside, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Bernie's website gets twice as many hits as Trump's and maybe a third more than Clinton's.
