The calls to run for POTUS are only because of something she just said. This also applies to Bernie, Jimmy Carter or whichever person said something good lately. There are many D Senators with more experience than EW. And she'd still have to deal with whatever Congress there is, and there's no proof she'd magically convince Republicans and Blue Dogs to do her bidding. That's why people hang onto someone who never held Executive Office before. They can always hope that one will be the Messiah. But being human she will surely have the same issues and guess who will be crying in their beer with disappointment.
