America’s hopes of electing its first female President went down the drain on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila) after Hillary Clinton lost the presidential race over Republican front runner Donald Trump.
READ: Donald Trump elected US president
Within hours of Trump’s victory, some social media users were already looking ahead and endorsing another potential first female president—outgoing first lady Michelle Obama.
Michelle, who’s considered as one of the most influential women of this era, is believed to have a chance of winning the election for the Democrats in 2020.
Netizens voiced their opinions on Twitter with the hashtag #Michelle2020 in hopes she would “save” the US from the newly elected President.
Some tweets varied from simple jests, while others expressed their full-on support as a tonic to Trump’s impending term.

There was no good options. Clinton would just have been a lesser of 2 evils. Our only hope is Michelle Obama in 2020

I’m loving the #Michelle2020 tag already taking over. Just about the only sensible thing to happen today. #Election2016 #ElectionNight

Michelle Obama wouldn’t even have to have a proper campaign in 2020. Walk on stage, say a couple words then bam she’d win
