About

#DropOutHillary is a social media hashtag urging the 2016 Democratic presidential primary candidate Hillary Clinton to suspend her campaign and concede the nomination to rival Bernie Sanders.

Origin

Throughout the 2016 Democratic presidential primaries, various critics of the front-runner candidate Hillary Clinton used the hashtag #DropOutHillary in tweets calling for her to abandon her presidential campaign. On May 4th, 2016, the hashtag began trending on Twitter[5] and Facebook[6] immediately after the Republican presidential primary Ted Cruz and John Kasich had suspended their campaigns, with many supporters of both Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders calling for Clinton to do the same (shown below).

That day, the news site Blue Nation Review[2] published an article titled "Despicable #DropOutHillary Hashtag: Only a Female Front Runner Would be Told to Drop Out," which accused the online campaign of being fueled by sexism. By the end of the day, The Inquisitr[7] reported that nearly 100,000 tweets containing the hashtag had been posted on the microblogging site. The article subsequently reached the front page of the /r/politics[3] subreddit, where it gained upwards of 11,900 votes (65% upvoted) and 3,600 comments within 24 hours. By May 5th, the hashtag had been tweeted over 475,000 times.[4] In the coming days, several news sites published articles about the trending hashtag, including Vox,[8] RT,[9] TheGatewayPundit[10] and Salon.[11]

To anyone who still feels Clinton has any right to be in this race remember, she is currently under CRIMINAL investigation by the FBI regarding those 300,000+ emails.

Seriously, Nixon was impeached for far less than that

I prefer Sanders, but demanding the current leading candidate drop out seems…petty and idiotic.

I hate Trump as well, but he won the primary process fair and square, so this would be like if the cons had demanded that Trump drop out from the top spot.
