You've just made me realize network effects work both ways: If you can't receive any of your GMail friend's mail, you have a problem. If the last of your GMail friends can't receive any of their (in this example, Republican friend circle's) mail, they have a problem.

With huge numbers of people following Trump off of Twitter, FB, et all, expect a huge hit to their stocks.

Twitter lost 10%.
