Social Media websites for Hillary Clinton and Marco Rubio



     Hillary Clinton

           Hillary Clinton uses social media as a way to improve her popularity and reach people in an effective way. Her twitter includes mostly videos with relevant captions stating her political stance- some involving snippets of her speeches while others include organizations she supports or the groups of people in the American population (like teachers, for example). Clinton also writes some tweets in Spanish,which demonstrates her outreach to different groups in America. Her twitter is the most convincing of all sites. Clinton's Facebook page has more about organizations she supports rather than her own personal posts or messages as well as videos of celebrities and popular people telling why they approve of her, whereas her Instagram and Snapchat involve herself posed with others like Katy Perry or her doing funny things. Hillary's page really doesn't need improving.


   Marco Rubio

         Marco Rubio's social media sites are less convincing than Hillary Clinton's, and here is why: in general, he fails to make posts that include others or the general public- it's all about him and his views. On twitter, there are not many photos and videos that draw in users. He (or his team of advisors than run his page) only make tweets that involve text or responding to those who both agree and disagree with him. Without photos or videos, a page can be boring. On Facebook, all that was featured were posts about the Republican Debate last night and all of the posts made were by his fans, not his team. With Instagram, he does show more of his connection with others with photos of groups that  he interacts with or supports, but the pictures aren't really interesting. It's also ironic that Rubio, of Cuban immigrants, made no posts in Spanish on any of his social media sites while Clinton had multiple ones. Rubio's pages are not terrible but they need improving- making things more about the people and less about himself.

Clearly, Hillary has our vote based off of her captivating, attention grabbing page.
