Facebook Posts on election-2017

Columns of Post Tables

The table above has these entries. Post entries with just one line for Reach were not boosted. Boosted posts have two lines for Reach and several other items. The upper line reflects all interactions, the bottom line just those resulting from paid ads.

• "Title" is either a link to the actual Facebook post, or a link to a plain-text version of that post, which also has the URL of the actual Facebook post.
• "Post/Boost" contains the start date of post and end date of boost.
• "Reach" is the number of views of the post.
• "Like" includes all the emoticon responses: Like Love Haha Wow Sad Angry. For boosted posts, the lower Like is the number of Page Likes generated by the post.

  For the emoticon table only, Love Haha Wow Sad Angry are listed separately.

• "Comments" is the number of comments on the post.
• "Shares" is the number of shares of the post.
• "Clicks" is the number of clicks on links cited in the post.
• "Hide" is the number of negative "Hide Post" responses.
• "Hide All" is the number of negative "Hide All Posts" responses.
• "Cost" For boosted posts is the price in cents paid per click - lower is better.

Who decides who is elected to Congress in 2018?

In the aftermath of the special elections in Virginia and
Alabama, people have begun to realize that it's mostly a
waste of time to worry about unemployed rural white male
high school grads - the ones that still support Trump
always will, because they like his style, not because he's
going to do anything to objectively improve their lot.

Instead, many voters that can be turned are suburban middle
class educated women.   Some of those that supported
Trump because they agreed with him on some ideological
issues have changed their minds, primarily because they
can't stand his droit-du-seigneur style and alliance with
Roy Moore and his ilk.  Every woman has had unpleasant
experiences with men like these and for many, far worse
than unpleasant.

In a roundabout way, Democrats can thank Harvey Weinstein
for being the straw that broke the camel's back/last brick
in the load.  We may never know why Weinstein was the
predator that broke the dam - as opposed to the predator
before or the predator after.    But the dam has broken
and any male candidate that equivocates on these issues
is going to be in trouble in a swing district.

election:
