Final post

For our final project, Amina and I are contiuing our research on the presidential candidates’ campaigns. We have already compiled a week’s data of tweets manually from both Hillary and Trump over the course of a single week.

Our argument can’t be comparing tweets from other elections, due to the selection of data. Therefore, we have chosen to argue that the majority of tweets from each presidential candidate are of bashing/criticism in nature. Obviously, Donald Trump has more tweets bashing others, including his own party. Hillary, however, had a much lower bashing rate, and for some reason seems to be obsessed with Michelle Obama.

We will continue to resolve what this all means and how it should be used. So far, our argument is that the majority of tweets are criticism, and the results tend to support our claim.
