‘Hillary2016’ trending worldwide

Hillary Clinton is likely still celebrating the reelection of President Obama, but on Twitter her fans are plotting her election in 2016.

#Hillary2016 was trending across the world on Twitter early Wednesday morning just a few minutes after Mitt Romney delivered his concession speech. 

The secretary of State is regularly asked whether she might consider another bid for the White House, and always replies that she is ready to retire from politics. The former first lady does not plan to stay on as secretary of State in Obama’s second term.

“I have been on this high wire of national and international politics and leadership for 20 years,” she told Marie Claire last month. “It has been an absolutely extraordinary personal honor and experience. But I really want to just have my own time back. I want to just be my own person. I’m looking forward to that.”

Hollywood blogger Perez Hilton sent one of the most popular #Hillary2016 tweets about four hours before the hashtag was trending — and before a winner was declared in the 2012 race. 

Clinton, who unsuccessfully ran against Obama for the 2008 Democratic nomination, has since become one of the most popular figures in politics.
