Yahoo tech reports that
Fake Twitter followers abound among the U.S. presidential candidates as they gear up for the election in 2016. And Hillary Clinton isn’t the only candidate with more than a million of them. GOP frontrunner Donald Trump also has well over a million fake followers. Other candidates have them, too, but not as many (in large part because they don’t have as many followers, period).
Now as these things go fake Twitter Followers is sort of a bit of social media hype.
But, it's just a sign of how poor your media team is when they expend resources
to get you fake followers so you can brag about your follower count.
Fake followers aren’t inherently bad,” Caplan said, “they are just a dishonest form of using social media. They can be leveraged to inflate someone’s reputation. People will most likely follow someone who already has many followers, so buying followers is a way to boost your follower count in the future. Fake followers can also be used to commit fraud in the sense that you can inflate the value of your Twitter account for advertising purposes without creating any real value.”
Yep, just a little dishonest and used to inflate reputations....

The Mail also recalled that when Clinton was in the State Department, some of her social team got busted for blowing $630,000 in taxpayer money on purchasing phony Facebook friends to make itself look popular.
That might explain why she is big in Baghdad

Hillary Clinton’s Facebook pages have an unexpected audience base. At least 7 percent of the Facebook fans interested in Clinton’s Facebook activity list their hometown as Baghdad, way more than any other city in the world, including in the United States.
Vocativ’s analysis of Clinton’s Facebook statistics yielded a number of surprises. Despite her reputation as an urban Democrat favored by liberal elites, Iraqis and southerners are more likely to be interested in Hillary than people living on America’s coasts.
No surprise that the two doing the most of this are Trump and Clinton.
