on the lighter side -- Bad sign for Hillary: Bernie is selling more shirts


More people are buying shirts, hats, mugs, bumper stickers and baby onesies with Sanders name than the gear of rival Hillary Clinton, at least according to online retailer CafePress.

The website has been tracking sales of souvenirs for all the 2016 candidates. So far, CafePress has sold 19,132 Sanders products and only 17,276 Clinton ones.

The site has correctly predicted the past three presidential elections based on its sales data.

In a worrisome sign for Clinton, she was leading Sanders on gear sales until mid-September. Then Sanders began to pull ahead -- right around the time his poll numbers started to close the gap with Clinton, especially in the key states of Iowa and New Hampshire.

I'll be buying a rainbow Bernie shirt next week. That will help with my collection, now consisting of a black shirt and a white shirt. Still need a blue one.

Maybe Hillary supporters don't want to wear political shirts. Most are professionals who can wear it to work anyway.
