Whether that would be an increase or decrease, let alone the       size of any effect, I don't have a firm hypothesis. I would guess that people       would go to Twitter        regularly to keep up on the daily rhetoric. I wonder if there's a way of       checking our that his presence on Twitter has made a discernible difference.       [Please don't consider this comment as either pro or con Mr. Trump.
