[Politics] Have I slipped into an alternate reality?!?

#deleteyouraccount is now trending on Twitter! It may have been childish, but people are talking about it.

I have a question.  In your mind can Hillary ever do anything right?  Just curious.

Oh me too.  

Not blaming the staffer at all. I just think she was advised well.  I think the quote was an appropriate response. 

Face it - the world has changed - social media is a part of our world. 

Not all all voters are middle aged or old. 

I may may be middle aged and not totally get social media - but I do understand that it does significantly impact our lives. 

I do hold her accountable for her Twitter account and I like her response. 

It's bad when our 2 candidates to be president are trolling each other on Twitter. This is what we have become

I laughed when I read it & then I retweeted it.

This is where I sit too.....this is a brand new world for political communication.  President Obama perfected it in 2008 and eight years later it's even more of an influence on how campaigns communicate to the masses.

I've actually been looking for something to be impressed by, and acting like a child 'because someone else did it first' just doesn't do it for me. I'm not so much offended as deeply disappointed. You can defend it all you want out of blind party loyalty, but the fact is that continuing this kind of behavior will cost her votes that could have helped her defeat Trump. With all her other problems, acting like a sheTrump sure doesn't inspire my confidence in her as a leader. My last ray of hope for her as a candidate has been that she wasn't as despicable of a human being as Trump. I'm beginning to doubt my judgment on that.



I actually agree with you, except that the ones who need to be doing the ass kicking are the Republican party and the voters.  There are some places our leaders shouldn't go, especially while they are representing their party or constituents, like the idiot Congressman (Joe Wilson [SC] ) when he yelled 'liar' at the POTUS while he was addressing a joint session of Congress. I don't care if having some standards gets me labeled as losing my wig, flipping out, old/middle-aged, out of touch or whatever.  I'm not going to change my mind about there being a time and place for things when you're in a position such as Congressman, Presidential candidate, or other elected position. 

Defend her out blind party loyalty?  Really?

In the big scheme of things IT'S JUST NOT THAT BIG A DEAL.

I know you are disappointed with what YOU view as inappropriate behavior by Hillary but don't insult others because they don't see Hillary the way you do.  How very arrogant of you to believe that if someone doesn't see Hillary the way you do they are defending her out "blind party loyalty".  Phooey.

In this election, any publicity is good publicity. We've seen it with DT in the controversial things he says.He should now be on notice that her campaign understands the power of the media.

I'm just trying to figure out, in what world does one reply, which does not escalate,is a standard retort and well executed, constitute a "twitter war"? she has younger generations of followers she has to appeal to as well, I think she handled it well.

if she had come back with something just as stupid and of the "I know you are but what am I" variety, or kept engaging and furthering this exchange, THEN I could see your point.

Now that I know what it means, it's funny. Like when older ladies try to speak young and hip to their kids' horror.
