Social Media Analysis of the race for #Miami's easternmost #FL27 Congressional district which has five Democrats vying to be the nominee (and presumptive front-runner) to replace Ileana Ros-Lehtinen.

I used @crowdtangle to analyze all 5 candidates last 3 months.
Twitter:

@david4florida - highest engagement rate, most retweets
@matthaggman - most popular single post, lowest engagement rate, most posts.
@VOTEHEPBURN - doing better than:
@rosengonzalez - least posts, fewest interactions
@DonnaShalala - nearly fewest posts, underperforming
The most popular post in the entire last 3 months is from @matthaggman who has the most overall engagements by posting more and more material. He's also leading in most posts, almost double Richardson, but has 1/4th of R's engagement rate. Effective tho.

Outperforming: @david4florida has a high engagement rate that makes up for his smaller follow count and keeps his overall engagement figures competitive with...

Underperforming: @DonnaShalala has the most followers, but isn't taking advantage of it with 2 posts daily.
Could be better could be worse: @VOTEHEPBURN

Not really putting in the effort: @rosengonzalez
Facebook is a different story, but @crowdtangle doesn't account for advertising spend, though it doesn't look like a major area of focus for any candidate in this race, except possibly @rosengonzalez who has triple the engagements of anyone else.
Kristin @rosengonzalez is leading in video views posting 1 daily, but @matthaggman's content is actually more viral. @DonnaShalala has conceded the FB video space to her competition and @VOTEHEPBURN hasn't posted one yet. FB video interactions reflect this
Interaction rates show that @david4florida isn't buying FB ads, but using his installed base of > 14k likes, triple the next competitor, while @DonnaShalala is pretty much only buying ads to get seen.
KRG is counting on videos, posting one daily. @DonnaShalala is ignoring the space entirely.
Photo posts have been key to driving FBI traffic for #Fl27 candidates.

@david4florida has the most viral content
@rosengonzalez - most interactions from photos
@DonnaShalala - not competing in the space, buying advertising.
@VOTEHEPBURN - interaction underpeform, A4 effort
Overall conclusions:

@david4florida - most consistent, near the top in both FB &Twitter
@matthaggman - quantity over quality Twitter, but producing results, FB, eh.
@rosengonzalez - abandoned Twitter, but doing well on FB.
@DonnaShalala - failing to participate.

@Lawrence the Russian historian Yuri Felshtinsky has written two major stories about my deep dive journalism. He's a world-famous Russian historian. He co-authored a book with Alexander Litvinenko, who Putin poisoned with polonium tea. Solid citation here. english.gordonua.com/amp/news/exclu…
Felshtinsky just released this story, which includes his affirmation of our work on Alexander Torshin and Maria Butina.

Burt Reynolds is gone.

The world has lost a great FSU Seminole alum.

RIP Bandit.
Did you know that Burt Reynolds designed the Noles iconic 1980s uniforms and donated the design to FSU?

He did.

Reynolds was always close to Bobby Bowden and the team.

The biggest Trump supporter in #Florida is the @FloridaGOP gubernatorial nominee @RonDeSantisFL.

@politicofl's @MarcACaputo reports he chose #Miami Republican Rep. Jeanette M. Nunez as his running mate.

This is what she had to say about Donald Trump: archive.is/xDsCt
It looks so nice in the original mobile format.
I guess @RepJNunez has to stop opposing the KKK to join the @RonDeSantisFL campaign?

Right @BillyCorben?

*** THREAD ****

This is the real reason why Russia's Taganskaya mafia calls Alexander Torshin the Godfather.

He's got a private army

Torshin used those credentials to impress the NRA and infiltrate them as part of the #TrumpRussia election attacks.

The Vityaz are a prestigious former brigade of the Russian Ministry of Interior, which have been reorganized into three parts, two of them private.

- A battalion of regulars in RosGvard, Putin's praetorian guard.

- A spetznaz training center
- A private security company
Alexander Torshin frequently shares photos of himself with Vityaz, calling them "his people" and he frequently appears with their Commander, Col. Sergey Lysyuk, who is a Hero of the Russian Federation and Butina spent a considerable amount of time with them too.

Commendators say @realDonaldTrump a mob boss for saying that, "it's called flipping and it almost ought to be illegal."

So I thought I'd make a thread of the Teflon Don John Gotti's actual quotations about rats so we can make a fair comparison based on his peer.
John Gotti came to the railing that separates the well of the courtroom from the spectators' section and told reporters, referring to Mr. Cardinali, ''Not one thing he said was the truth - except his rat name.''

Dec. 2, 1986

During the same discussion, Gotti is heard telling alleged Gambino consigliere Salvatore Gravano: "You know these are rats, Sam. And I gotta say, they all want their money up front." (He's calling his own lawyers rats this time!)
