Hillary Clinton Running for President Sparks Twitter Reactions: #Hillary2016, #WhyImNotVotingForHillary
It was announced just yesterday that Hillary Clinton is running for President in the 2016 campaign. And while this wasn't a total shocker, what's even more of a non-shocker (if that's a thing) is the fact that the former First Lady and Secretary of State's announcement garnered an incredible heap of reactions––both positive and negative. And of course, being that it's 2015 and we are in the age of the Internet, Twitter had quite a few things to say about the new campaign, mainly in the form of hashtags like #Hillary2016 and #WhyImNotVotingForHillary.
As MStars News reported yesterday, Clinton's new campaign video – which she uploaded to her YouTube Page – focuses largely on the people she'll be hoping to help in the future: the middle class.
The aim of the video is to show various people through a number of transitions in their lives. It is then that Clinton chimes in with, "I'm getting ready to do something too. I'm running for President."
At just over two minutes, the wife-o-Bill doesn't appear until about halfway or so through. Which was obviously done on purpose to deliver the feel that her campaign is "about you."
Take a look at the campaign video here:
Naturally, Twitter was both overjoyed and upset.
