Two academics reveal how Twitter told them Donald Trump 'dominated' the campaign and was a lock to beat Hillary

The Daily Mail reports:

Donald Trump's election surprised pollsters across the board, with the overwhelming majority deducing the former reality TV host had no chance of winning the White House.

But Tom Jackson and Martin Sykora, researchers at Loughborough University in the United Kingdom, were able to calculate a Trump triumph ahead of time by using Twitter.

Their election-predicting tool, called Emotive, was able to gather information on thousands of tweets every second to create a snapshot of how people truly felt about the two candidates.

Domination.
