If Hillary Clinton didn’t feel like the walls were closing in around her before, she might start worrying now. The top Google searches from last night’s debate are out, and they’re quite reveailing:
Two of the top searched questions on Google for Hillary Clinton are likely not about the themes her campaign hopes to highlight.
“Will Hillary Clinton get prosecuted?” is most searched question on Google ahead of the Democratic debate on Sunday night. “Will Hillary Clinton win the nomination?” is second and “What did Hillary Clinton do that is illegal?” is the third.
For Sanders, the top question is much more positive. “Why is Bernie Sanders so popular?” followed by “Can Bernie Sanders win?” and “How old is Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders?”
The FBI probe into Clinton has expanded, so it’s easy to understand why people might be interested. But the query could also serve as an indicator that the base is looking for some reason, any reason to throw their support behind Bernie Sanders.
