Bad sign for Hillary: Bernie is selling more shirts

[leftcoastmountains]

-snip-
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.

The slogan "Feel the Bern" has especially caught on.

1. I can confirm this. The Bernie shirts were the most popular according to the Tulsa County Democrats

It's true because they told me when I picked up some Bernie gear from them yesterday .

2. I'm all in for Bernie, but be realistic

Hillary isn't really attempting to appeal to a demographic that wears t-shirts with slogans.

4. Oh, believe it:

She would if she could.

Is she still hawking household products, btw, or is she done with that now? It's hard to keep up.

3. Cool!

I did 2 orders from Cafe Press for things not offered at the Bernie store.

And then there have been 2 orders at his store as well...just trying to do like he said...become a Walking Billboard!

5. I thought it was Halloween masks we had to watch

6. The shirts are pretty cool.

I met a young man at work on Friday wearing one of Bernie's shirts.
I asked him where he got it and he told me that he got it online.
He was obviously proud of it, and he told me that a lot of his friends had asked him about his shirt, as well.
