First up: Libertarian candidate John McAfee. Accounts retweeting @officialmcafee also retweet Trump, a variety of #AltWankers such as @JackPosobiec, @PrisonPlanet, @CassandraRules, and @Cernovich, as well as @RT_com, @wikileaks, and @ggreenwald. They tweet mostly in English. 
An interest in cryptocurrency shows up in both the hashtags used and media sites linked by accounts retweeting @officialmcafee. Other favorite sites include Reddit, Zerohedge, RT, and Wikileaks, and Assange/Wikileaks-related hashtags and #MAGA turn up frequently.
Accounts retweeting @GovBillWeld, the first Republican to announce a primary challenge to Trump, look very similar to several of the Democrats in terms of media linked, hashtags used, and accounts retweeted. Almost all of the accounts tweet predominantly in English.''
What about accounts retweeting the present incumbent, @realDonaldTrump? Languages show some variety, with over 10% of the accounts having a primary language other than English. Based on the locations specified in their profiles, the non-English accounts are mostly non-US based.
Accounts that retweet @realDonaldTrump are very fixated on him, retweeting him four times as often as the second most retweeted account (@charliekirk11). #MAGA is their most frequently used hashtag, followed by #QAnon. We'll note the presence of #Brexit and #GiletsJaunes as well.
What media sources do accounts that retweet @realDonaldTrump link? Almost exclusively right wing sources, with notable guest appearances by RT/Russia Today and various dodgy follower tracking apps. This group either shuns MSM or has been effectively cut off from it. #EchoChamber
