In an effort to take over the conversation on Twitter during the vice presidential debate Tuesday night, the Republican nominee’s campaign is selecting 2,500 people on Twitter to join the #BigLeagueTruth Team.
During the debate, those selected will receive text messages from the campaign directing them to “retweet this” for example, an official with the Republican National Committee confirmed to The Daily Caller Sunday. (RELATED: Rudy Giuliani: ‘Lester Holt Should Be Ashamed Of Himself’)
