Hillary Clinton’s “don’t tempt me” response to President Trump daring her to enter the 2020 White House race sparked an intense reaction on social media.

The back-and-forth between the two 2016 presidential candidates began Tuesday morning after Trump suggested in a tweet that Clinton “should enter the race to try and steal it away from Uber Left Elizabeth Warren” under the condition that she explains “how & why she deleted 33,000 Emails.”

{mosads}That prompted Clinton, who has twice run for the White House, to respond, “Don’t tempt me. Do your job.”

Social media exploded about the prospect of a rematch.

Democrats keep scoffing at the idea that Hillary Clinton will run again.

Creating a 19-lane highway for Trump to attack familiar Dems (Biden, Hillary) for months and months while somebody else slides into the nomination is not a bad strategy for Dems. I just don’t think it’s actually the strategy being deployed. https://t.co/KQarx6JEmX
