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.

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.
