People in the News April 2019
I’ve run my People in the News bots and scripts every week since the first of the year. Each and every week Donald Trump has been number one, and it has never been close.

Politicians Throwing Stones
Beto has dropped like I rock since the last time I posted. O’Rourke falls from third in mid March all the way down to 27.
Joe Biden moves up from nine to four but that is not necessarily a good thing. Unless you are one of those “there’s no such thing as bad publicity” types.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez‘s score changed but she remains in the same exact slot as last month. In fact this was one of the most consistent months, compared to the previous one, so far.
