‘Delete Your Account’: Clinton And Trump Battle On Twitter

Early signs of a bitter general election race emerged on Twitter Thursday afternoon, when the Trump and Clinton campaigns made jabs at each other on Twitter following President Obama’s endorsement of Clinton.

The Clinton campaign was succinct in its response. (Only Tweets signed “-H” are from Clinton herself.)

Those three words launched a Twitter firestorm, with two big names in the Republican establishment – RNC Chair Reince Priebus and Communications Director Sean Spicer – bringing up Clinton’s email scandal.

Trump joined in later that afternoon as well, garnering a little more support from the Twittersphere but still a fraction of Clinton’s retweets and favorites.

NBC News published the “two-page prospectus” on Monday, which purports to explain how “Kyrsten Will Win Arizona” in 2024.

“She receives significant crossover support from Republicans and current polling shows her favorability as high as 34 percent with Republican voters,” the document declares, noting Sinema — if she runs — will focus on courting “a significant number of the state’s independent voters and soft Republicans turned off by their party’s rightward swing.”

As House Republicans fail to advance spending bills needed to fund the federal government and avert a government shutdown, right-wing media are at odds with one another over whether to cheer on the possibility of a shutdown or ridicule those Republicans leading the charge toward it.
