Campaign Merchandise Superlatives

Everyone knows how important this upcoming general election is. This election decides if we go down the toilet or get thrown in the dumpster as a nation. There is really no good choice (in my humble opinion). Even though we know that there are no great choices left the candidates are doing everything they can to convince you otherwise. One way they do this is through their online stores. Because not only do they want your vote, but they also want you to let everyone at school or work know too, and get you into endless political argument with the guy on campus who believes that Ted Cruz is the messiah or the girl who only likes Hillary Clinton because she is a woman. Now in my research to see which candidate I will be voting for in November, I saw some interesting, or not so interesting things in their stores. I think it says a lot about the candidates too.

With that being said I have given out some awards and superlatives to the best and worst items I have seen.

1. Least Likely to be Purchased

I don't even know why they have this shirt on the store. If there are any Democrats in Alabama they are Bernie supporters.

2. Best Jab at Trump

Very fitting for the billionaire baby....

3. Bernie's Most Clever Item

I see what you did there Mr Sanders, but I'm "totes" not voting for you.

4. Ugliest Christmas Sweater

Looks like his administration would if he won. It could be uglier though...

5. Zero Cares Given

The guy is a billionaire! You would think the guy could spend some money on marketing.

Bernie was a close second...

6. The "We Get It, You're a Conservative" Award

You can't really get anywhere with that driving philosophy...

7. Overly Inclusive

I think she forgot babies, criminals, and mermaids.

8. Least Likely to Be On a Future Economist

I mean the baby could be a psychology major like me.

9. Trump's Flashy Shirt

Astounding.

9. Most likely to be a purchase for your dad's Mid-Life Crisis

10. Most likely to be a Myth

Like Bigfoot and unicorns, John Kasich shirts exist only in internet pictures and on television.

11. Honorable Mentions

If only they had stayed...

I couldn't possibly fit all their shirts, foam fingers, and throw pillows (yes I said throw pillows) in this article. I don't know who your favorite candidate is, but maybe this article helped inspire you to buy a T-shirt you will only wear once.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
