Social Hill!

Joining Twitter, the former First Lady is teasing the junk food media with talk about a run for president. Since leaving the Washington scene, Hillary Clinton has maintained high approval among the Democratic faithful.

The woman who done everything made one new achievement. The former of many is now an official Twitter user. Hillary Rodham Clinton, you may have heard of her. 

Since joining the social network, she obtained over 350,000 followers and growing.

Clinton describes herself as a wife, mom, lawyer, women & kids advocate, FLOAR, FLOTUS, US Senator, SecState, author, dog owner, hair icon, pantsuit aficionado, glass ceiling cracker, TBD...

After all she is the wife of 43rd president Bill Clinton. She was the First Lady of the United States, a former New York U.S. Senator, a former Democratic candidate for president, and former U.S. State Secretary under President Barack Obama.

Being a mother, a devoted wife during her husband's affair, and an outspoken independent woman, Clinton became the voice of the working woman. 

In the struggles and success, Mrs. Clinton face political foes from the right and left. 

Republicans loathe her just as much as her husband, Bill. 

The Clintons were a target of harsh criticism during the 1990s. 

The talk of Hillary Clinton running for higher office came around the time she became a U.S. Senator. During that time, a little unknown Illinois state senator was running for the U.S. Senate.

The historical race between her and Barack Obama tore a lot of Democrats. Some Democrats hated Obama because they've perceived him as inexperienced and were uncomfortable with his race. They went on to become Republicans and Tea Party activists.

Hillary Clinton ran a unsuccessful run for president. She eventually conceded the race and endorsed Obama.

The rift was mended when Barack Obama became the president defeating perennial candidate John McCain, the U.S. Senator from Arizona and Republican presidential nominee. Obama picked Clinton as his Secretary of State. 

At the time, while President Barack Obama was sliding downward in polls, Clinton was rising. Her job approval post elected office was at an all-time high.

The word TBD means to be determined. 

The talk of Hillary Clinton running for president is still relevant among the junk food media. 

Republicans were hoping to taint the potential for her perennial quest at becoming the first woman ever to be the president. This constant drumbeat of Benghazi will continue to be an issue with Clinton because it was under her watch an attack happened at the Libyan consulate in which four Americans were killed.

Although the facts stated that terrorism was involved, many Republicans continue to deny that the playing of an anti-Islamic film was spread around the social networks. That erupted in massive protests in  Egypt, Tunisia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Morocco, and eventually Libya. 

Terrorist managed to get a hold of firearms and explosives. They were tipped off by Libyan workers at the consulate where CIA operatives were and they've proceeded to attack. 

Now this is still an controversial issue and the classified information to what happen hasn't made it to public knowledge. All the Republicans have are the talking points and the theory that President Barack Obama and then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton "allowed" Americans to die because of the U.S. Elections.

Of course, that didn't help perennial loser Mitt Romney win the presidency. And now we're in the middle of the year, and the Republicans are still harping on Benghazi along with the IRS and NSA scandals.

Somehow they'll end up overplaying their hand. Because all the belly ringing over Hillary Clinton the possibility of her running in 2016 is getting louder. She will be the oldest woman to ever run for higher office.

If she would declare an intent run in 2015, she would be 68 years old. 

Anyway, there's no serious candidate so far. 

Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Senator Marco Rubio (R-Florida), Rick Santorum, Donald Trump, Sarah Palin, are often floated as potential candidates. But I have my doubts they're even thinking about it. They know the risk since they're the ones who are screaming the loudest. They don't want the responsibility.

The Democrats are even more weaker than I've expected. There's talk about New York governor Andrew Cuomo, Maryland governor Martin O'Malley, Newark mayor Cory Booker, San Antonio mayor Julian Castro and Vice President Joe Biden. I don't see the buzz in these candidates.

But if Clinton and Biden do run, they'll be older than Ronald Reagan when he ran for president.
