Hillary Super PAC Shells out Big Bucks to Generate Fake Social Media Enthusiasm for Candidate


When your campaign and your candidate garner no enthusiasm, what is the best way to fix this?  Manufacture it.  That is exactly what the pro-Clinton Super PAC, Correct the Record is doing.  And they’re paying big bucks to do so.

Hillary Clinton-aligned Super PAC, Correct the Record, is taking a page out of Vladimir Putin’s playbook by employing a $1 million dollar professional internet troll army to build a paid, positive consensus about the Clinton campaign. The effort, called “Breaking Barriers 2016,” claims:

“While Hillary Clinton fights to break down barriers and bring America together, the Barrier Breakers 2016 digital task force will serve as a resource for supporters looking for positive content and push-back to share with their online progressive communities, as well as thanking prominent supporters and committed superdelegates on social media.

“Correct The Record will invest more than $1 million into Barrier Breakers 2016 activities, including the more than tripling of its digital operation to engage in online messaging both for Secretary Clinton and to push back against attackers on social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, and Instagram.”

It seems as though the Clinton campaign is not confident enough in its strategy of pandering to minorities and having her friends add extra voters in her favor.  It will be interesting to see how the (unpaid) Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump armies on social media react to Clinton’s new faux enthusiasm.  If past is prologue, the results are likely to be hilarious.
