And she hasn’t even sent one message. Evil bitch. (Maybe she’s putting all her money towards a YouTube spend?) So I took a look at other candidates all over that social medias thing, you know, on the world wide interwebs? Hey Hillary, Mitt, Rudy and John–okay, timeout for a sec: ‘Mitt?’ Just how much did his parents hate him anyway?–at the very least, even if you don’t have a full grasp on this tweeter thing, have an intern on your staff at least put up a url back to your main sites. Or even have someone throw a few fake posts up there just for appearances. That whole fake thing shouldn’t be too hard for you guys to pull off.
Hey, I know, hire me! Here are a few freebies to start you off. Perfect for any occasion and best of all, they’re candidate agnostic:
• “Hi, I’m running for president.”
• “Standing here in line with real people–like you.”
• “Just leaving the local emergency room visiting patients who can only afford to pay for their senator’s health care.”
• “Hi, I’m running for president.”
• “Just passed a homeless person. I love being in touch with real people–like you.”
• “Just had dinner with an honest to goodness middle class working family, I mean, I’ve heard about them, but to actually experience one up close? Words fail.”
• “Just leaving the general store in town. You know, growing up, my dad used to say (insert example of heartwarming family tale while, um, growing up).”

Al Gore never claimed to have invented the Internet.
See-man-ticks. Even still, the internets were well on their way before Al ever showed up.
