Hail to the kitschy election collectibles
The race for the White House between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump has heated up so fast and furiously that we’ve hardly remembered to stop and buy souvenirs. With just nine days to go until Election Day, there’s still time to get our hands on kitschy election collectibles. From the tacky and tasteless to the funny and absurd, there’s something to satisfy everyone’s political taste — or disdain. For grins and giggles, here are some items that will forever remind us of 2016.
