Hillary Clinton sent out invites to her election party Wednesday at the Javits Center in Manhattan, and it looks like she picked the place for a very special reason.

The 840,000 square foot venue, which sits on the Hudson River and has hosted numerous conventions, has one particularly striking aspect: much of it is made of glass. Some 3,722 new panels on the facade alone.

And, guess what, it has a glass ceiling.

Put two and two together yet? Twitter has.

The center is also significant to Trump, as one eagle-eyed reporter noted on Twitter, as the Republican candidate reportedly offered to build it on the condition it would be named after him.

His offer was rejected. It's actually named after Republican Sen. Jacob K. Javits.

Of course Clinton may be planning to host her event in a non-glass section, but how likely is that?
