As President Bill Clinton took to the Democratic National Convention's main stage Wednesday night, the Twitter hash tag "#Hillary2016? briefly became the top trend on Twitter in the United States. The tweets asking the secretary of state to run skyrocketed to the top shortly before 11 p.m., about 10 minutes after President Clinton gave her a shout out in his speech.

An ABC News/Washington Post poll in April found Secretary of State Clinton scoring a favorable rating of 65 percent , hitting a new high in favorability data stretching back to her entry on the national stage 20 years ago.

Clinton is currently in East Timor, steering thousands of miles clear of the convention in Charlotte, N.C.
