    A significant portion of online support for Hillary Clinton is manufactured by paid “astroturf” trolls: a large team of supporters who spend long hours responding to negative news on the internet about her. The Clinton SuperPAC Correct the Record, which is affiliated with her campaign, acknowledged in an April press release that it was spending $1 million on project “Breaking Barriers” to pay people to respond to negative information about Clinton on social media sites like Facebook, Reddit, Instagram and Twitter. That amount has since increased to over $6 million. The trolls create a false impression that Clinton has more support than she really does, because one supporter will frequently create multiple anonymous accounts.

    A couple of them, I suspect, frequent this board quite regularly.

    Says the Breitbart marketing director for the Baptist Board. My irony meter just exploded.

    That's it! Trump's done! It's over! Again.

    On topic, nothing or really illegal about what Hillary's doing with this astroturf. Who really knows or cares who how and where they're posting, Sugar Daddy Soros has deep pockets.
