"Why I am not voting for Hillary" sparks Twitter discussion and humour

Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, who announced her second run for the White House as the commanding Democratic front runner faced a huge backlash on social media sites.

Emerging as one of the top contenders for the Democratic party nomination Clinton once again seeks to become America's first woman president.

Soon after Clinton posted a video on her website asking for public support and started a campaign saying "Everyday Americans need a champion, and I want to be that champion,", a hashtag called "#WhyImnotvotingforHillary" sparked discussion and humour on micro blogging site.

Taking to micro blogging site twitter, many criticised her saying someone who can't even handle two emails should not be the leader of our great nation. Some also criticised her for her response to 2012 attack on the US consulate in Benghazi, Libya.

Because even at 27, she was an unethical liar who stole documents and wrote a fraudulent brief. #Watergate #WhyImNotVotingForHillary
