One of the many great qualities of social media and people in the public eye posting on social media is that every now and then, you get the chance to see into their “normal” lives, whether it is a Tweet, an Instagram picture, or a Facebook post. More interestingly, these posts are always turned into something they are not, whether that is positive or negative, because simply put, that is just what the internet does. This blog will take a deeper look into the personal accounts of President Obama, and those who are currently in the run for the next presidential election. While many of these accounts are generally ran by a staff, every so often the President and the presidential candidates will post something that comes entirely from their own fingers. It is nice, and sometimes shocking, to see what these people that are in the public eye will post for the public to see.

Everyone Argues On Twitter, It's The "New" Thing

Recently, Trump commented on how George W. Bush handled the 9/11 attacks and Jeb Bush has stepped in to defend his brother. Trump was asked how he would handle a catastrophe such as the 9/11 attacks or the 2012 shooting in Newtown. He replied by saying, "I think I have a bigger heart than all of them. I think I'm much more competent then all of them. I mean, say what you want, the World Trade Center came down during his time." And then went on to say, (referring to George W. Bush) "He was president, okay? Blame him or don't blame him, but he was president. The World Trade Center came down during his reign." Bush has responded saying that his brother kept us safe, and Trump's comments are "pathetic."
 
I find this funny, because Trump did mention the WTC coming down during George W. Bush's term.
 
And of course, Trump tries to end the Twitter debate by criticizing Bush on something that doesn't have anything to do with the initial arguments over George W. Bush's presidency. If presidential elections have taught me anything, it's that when in doubt, just criticize your opponent. That's how you really win an argument, duh!
And just today, Bush tweeted again on the matter with a linked video that makes Trump look like he has no idea what he is doing.
 Here is the link to the short clip.

Do you agree with Trump? Is George W. Bush to blame for what happened?

Club For Growth Is Still After Trump

The Club for Growth is at it again against Donald Trump. A few weeks ago, Club for Growth began a $1 million series of TV ads, that aimed to expose Trump's liberal record on healthcare, taxes, bailouts, and property rights. A new poll of Iowa Republican caucus voters indicate that the more they hear of Trump's liberal ideas, the more they reject those ideas. Eleven candidates were tested, and Trump rated seventh as the most favroable, and rated second highest as the most unfavorable. The president of Club for Growth said, "Donald Trump is not a conservative, and that message is getting through to Iowa." Club for Growth is aiming to expand their TV advertisments to other states in the near future. Trump defended himself on Twitter, and the Club for Growth replied with a threat indicating that this round of attack ads will not be the last.

Hey, Want A MarcoPolo?

I decided to go through a couple of the presidential candidates’ websites and check them out. I found some pretty interesting stuff! Of course, every website had a “donate” option. They all listed the issues each candidate stands for, ways to volunteer, merchandise you can purchase, and so on. I did not look at everyone’s website, but from the seven that I did look at, from what I could tell Cruz’s, Bush’s, Carson’s, and Clinton’s websites were the only ones to offer a Spanish option alongside English. I thought this was a good idea because it allows even those who cannot read English to visit his website, and learn his stance on policies and everything else. Seems like a smart idea to me! Of course, Trump did not have this option. *Laughing Emoji Face*
Each website had some cool and interesting things in their “store.”
Carson had some hilarious tees! Well, I thought they were pretty funny…



Cruz had an entire "hunters gear" collection with his name on everything, of course.
Clinton had a "pride pack" that included a LBGT v-neck tee, 6 pride buttons, and 6 pride bumper stickers.

And you can get a FREE bumper sticker from the Fiorina website.
And a MarcoPolo (see what he did there?) from the Rubio site. Also, all his products are American made.
Bush's store says "The perfect way to be “All In for Jeb”…and all in for fashion" So you know, his apparel his obviously the most fashionable. And if you love your dad as much as Bush loves his, then you can buy this shirt from his store as well.
 
It is interesting to see how each candidate's' website differs. From the setup, to the things sold at the store, to what is first shown when you open the site.
The best part of looking at all the websites was the first website that I thought was Fiorina's. But once I opened it, I got a little kick out of it haha.

The first thing you see on the site is this.
 
Followed by 3,000 sad faces, I'm guessing because once you finally scroll down through all the sad faces you see this.

 
Of course, she has an actual, working website, but I thought this was too funny not to share.
