Jeb Bush launches online store with hipster

Below are a few of the items that caught our attention. We’ve nearly left out the best product of all: a guacamole bowl.

The Claim: “I was a governor of a state that saw people lifted up because we had high, sustained economic growth”, said Bush, 62. In a recent interview in Spanish with Telemundo, Bush invoked his children while speaking of discrimination his older son faced as a child because of his race and ethnic heritage. Bush surveys the “Vintage Tank”, a white tank top bearing a photo of a ’70s-era Bush sporting side burns and shaggy hair.

Bush, who served as the governor of Florida for eight years and who is married to a Mexican-American, is asking $75 for each “Guaca Bowle”. The accompanying image shows a simple, unadorned vessel, but you’d think for a $65 markup you’d at least get the Jeb-with-an-exclamation-point logo slapped on the side. 2016 campaign website’s store introduces it, saying: “Jeb and Columba love whipping up guacamole on Sunday Funday”. Why, they set up a campaign store, of course!

Those compelled by the guacamole bowl but not by Bush can apparently get the same exact bowl- and save about $40.

Our biggest disappointment? That Donald Trump, whose “Make America Great Again” faux yacht captain hat has already become a viral hit, hasn’t yet (at least as of this writing) opened an e-commerce page on his campaign website.
