One Wordcloud A Day

The last scheduled (so far) Democratic Party debate took place couple of days back. I read news reports that said that Hillary came under fire in the debate. So I was interested in learning what happened during the debate using Twitter feed. Unfortunately, Twitter didn't discuss anything interesting! Bernie and Hillary got almost equal mentions but no issues came up as important. The only issues that showed up in the top 50 words in the wordcloud were Benghazi and immigration! It looks like people used #feelthebern hashtag often.

Today's wordcloud is for #DemDebate. It speaks for itself! Note that these are all original tweets, excluding any retweets. Looks like Bernie Sanders is getting some good coverage after all. It's not a surprise that only 3 candidate names show up all the time - Sanders, Clinton, and O'Malley. Among the issues, "healthcare" pops up frequently. The overall sentiment was neutral and positive tweets were not very high in numbers compared to the negative ones. This indicates polarized Twitter users.

Today's hashtag is for the Democrats debate. This was a 3-way debate between Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, and Martin O'Malley in Manchester, New Hampshire. I have no idea who the third guy is. It seems that Twitter didn't care either.   The overall sentiment about the debate was mostly neutral.
