Social Media Issues? Nahh

Website:
HillaryClinton.com that’s her website, at glance you will see that it is very plain simple and organize the color schemes are red white and blue.  She has a DONTAE NOW button off to the far top right and has buttons that will navigate you were ever you want to go.  I think her website does everything it needs to do for someone running for president.  It informs the reader, gives the reader options and is simple.

Insta… Instagram???
She DOES in fact have an Instagram with 308 thousand followers however I think it is kind of sad that she is only following 2 people - Hillaryforia and Hillaryfornv.  Both pages that she most likely made, I personally think it is impolite to have such a large fan base but to not acknowledge any of them.  “Shurgs” Oh well, moving on to more exciting things her Instagram is NOT boring as of now her last picture was posted 2 hours ago – a quote from Sandra Day.  Hillary’s Instagram is very active she includes pictures of herself participating at events, children, animals food, pretty much everything.  If Hillary was not running for president or just a “regular person” her Instagram would reflect that.  I think that she is able to relate to people because she is herself she lets people see her life and sends a very honest vibe to the world.  Wouldn’t you want someone like that to be YOUR President?

Twitter: 
If they don’t have anything they should at least have a Twitter and a Facebook.  Hillary is amazing so of course she has both.  Her twitter, like her Instagram is also very active her tweets are both political and inspiring.  Many of her tweets are targeted towards women to be independent.  One of her tweets posted 22 hours ago says “I’ve spent my whole life fighting for women and families because I believe that they matter to our nation and would- and because their struggles speak to my heart”.  In case you forgot Hillary is more than just a women running for President her Bio says “ Wife, mom, grandmother, women+kids advocate, FLOTUS, Senator, SecState, hair icon, pantsuit aficionado, 2016 presidential candidate.  Tweets from Hillary signed –H” I believe she says all those things again to make her relatable to you, to her audience, to her potential voters.  4.3 million People follow her on twitter and she follows 268 people, better than her Instagram.  I personally think she is doing an outstanding job staying up-to-date on her sites.

Facebook Page
          She does have a Facebook, everyone has one of those and 1,409,105 people like her page.  At glance you’ll see that she does post updates on things close to her.  Again a lot of things towards women and children, she also post videos one that stood out to me was posted 6 hours ago and it says “Hillary is fighting for everyone who’s been knocked down but refuses to be knocked out”.  A perfect phrase to describe Hillary, I know I mentioned it a lot but Hillary really does care for our nation and I believe she can make the changes the United States needs to be great again.  Just by looking at her media sites I can see that she post things that make her relatable to “normal people” she post things she cares about she post things that NEED to be changed and regardless of the critics she receives she does not let that alter her mission.

Snapchat
You know it! Of course Hillary has a snapchat because she is cool like that her snap chat name is @hillaryclinton.  Her supporters are now able to view quick interviews, her travels, and updates.  I think this is a great way to get out there and get more involved with her audience especially the younger generation.

All-N-All
          I think Hillary is doing a fanatic job with promoting herself threw the media.  She has everything that is relevant for the new generation along with the old.  I think she need to get out there more and participate in more interviews, she could also follow more people on her Instagram and Twitter but other than that I thonk that she is on the right track.

  1. I sort of see where you're coming from when you mention that she should probably follow more people back on Twitter and Instagram. I personally don't think it really matters and it might just cause problems because if she starts to follow people back, but misses a few people, they might become offended. Something that probably isn't too likely, but the thought has crossed my mind. My question to you is would you rather see her following people back or directly interacting with them on social media?

    1. That's a good question Sydney, I mean honestly I think she should do both. I feel that by following such a small amount of people (little to none) makes her come off as kind of stuck, I mean the whole point of social media is for people to know about you, but to also interact with people, i feel that is where Hillary lacks communication. And I understand she cant possible follow everyone but its a problem when she barley follows anyone. I hope i was able to answer your question.

  2. I think that this is a beautiful Blog! I think that Hillary is great at social media especially getting on Snap Chat! People can really connect with her. Do you think by already being in the public eye people will be more attracted to other candidate because they don't know them as well as Hillary?

    1. Thank you so much. To answer your question not really. Unless another Candidate does something to blow the media and people away I don't think the "public eye" will care to much about any one else especially if they aren't as known or as important.
