Oh, I see your confusion, let me explain. Here we have something that is patently not a millennial-on-the-internet trying to sound like a millennial-on-the-internet. In this case, it is a political campaign selling merchandise with faux-millennial parlance emblazoned on it. In the case of the Brands Saying Bae account, it tracks consumer brands doing much the same thing, only through Tweets. :)

But its actually different because campaigns release merch targeted at different sub-groups all the time. Obama did this and even Bush did this same thing to different demographics.

Its not trying to sound like a millennial its just selling millennial poo poo. Maybe if Clinton herself wore that stupid poo poo, it would be more like what you're imagining.

Nah, nobody's punching anyone. Rubio and Christie are the only ones there who might know how to even throw one.

On the other hand, with the chucklefucks making up the clown car there's at least tempting betting odds that at least two people get into one of those "toughguy" shouting matches where their faces are about an inch apart but you know nobody is doing anything but run their mouth. Come on Christie, make the cut.

You laugh, but is it totally out of the realm of possibility for Rand to call his father and say "please shut the hell up, I want to win"?

Nobody wants to hear their dad tell them that they don't have a chance. So Rand will never make an argument to Ron based on winning this thing. Now an argument based on messing up the grift, that's something papa Paul can understand.

Because it's the only way that's sane? SuperPACs aren't paying for official campaign merchandise design, and the party that has much more in their elections afterwards by far are Republicans. How did that even get into your head? Hell half of those were probably done for about free by volunteers and campaign staff.

In fact, why don't you just go and explain what you think the Citizens United ruling actually did, I'd love to hear it!

Stupid campaign merch has a long and storied history. The great innovation from the Obama campaign was realizing people would actually be willing to pay you for this stuff. Normally, you'd give it away free to promote your name. You still see that at the local level - I have seen many campaigns give away branded pot holders, key chains, hand sanitizer, etc.

And, of course, the prized yard sign.
