Politicians' official websites hock memorabilia for their biggest fans

This entry was posted on March 14, 2016 by BlowoutBuzz.

cruz.poster-55-2 This year's presidential race is one that's gotten plenty of attention for arguably all the wrong reasons, but no matter which way you lean there's plenty of potential memorabilia if that's your type of thing. (Buzz isn't all that interested but knows some of you inevitably will be, so here we are.)

How?

On the candidates' official websites. That's where you'll find coloring books, ugly sweaters, barbecue gear, caps, shirts, and, of course, plenty of signs and buttons. You'll find koozies, calendars, all kinds of stuff ... and even water bottles. (Some sell anti-competitor items, too, but it might not be who you think taking that approach.) The costs are sometimes low -- but often not -- and, interestingly, only one of the five candidates, Ted Cruz, sells actual autographed items. (The poster above? That's $55, though there's no note of its size.)

Keep reading for a look at some of the odd, creative and readily available items found on official stores for Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and John Kasich.
