Maybe you Trumpsters should check whether your internet friends actually exist.
If this was Hillary, you'd be saying that's smart campaiging. A Hillary Super PAC spent 6 million and has infiltrated the politics subreddit. It's funny because they will all have the same user_name format, be only a couple months old, and very robotic posts.
I am not sure having those bots gang up on a random Trump critic on twitter is a particularly useful electoral strategy. I'd imagine a competent campaign would deploy bots in a more useful manner. Also, I am not sure who is actually behind those bots. Is it really the Trump campaign? Sounds more like random alt right white nationalist nerds who want to sound more popular and more numerous than they actually are.

This actually does worry me. There's no telling what he will say when he inevitably loses, and what his legions of morons will do in response.
Man, that Stephanopoulos interview is the gift that keeps on giving. It's really mind boggling to believe that a candidate for the US presidency can be so clearly and utterly unqualified for the position. He just doesn't have a clue or any indication of a clue. His facial tics and body language are almost Tourette-like. Does Trump have Tourette sydnrome?
No, people wouldn't call it smart campaigning. Online harassment would be a stupid campaign strategy. Just stop with the false equivocation. Country first. Party second. Trump third. Save your party. Protect your country.
So narcissistic and toddler like. Screw civil society. Give me the throne or there will be violence. F-ing Putin wannabe.
It is really scary. And frankly should disqualify him (amongst the 50 other things that disqualify him). His supporter are rabid and I do think if he encourages them would riot.
They might be angry but they're not violent and won't break any laws. They were a few incidents here and there when they were baited but so far all real violence has come from Bernie and Hillary supporters.
I have an anti trump sticker on my car and will be will probably have to consider carrying two extra mags post election.
