Candidate Bears from Vermont Teddy Bear

The Vermont Teddy Bear Company has created teddy bears for some of the presidential candidates. The presidential candidate Bears include Bernie Bear, Trump Bear, Hillary Bear, Jeb Bear and Cason Bear. A Biden Bear will be created should Vice President Biden enter the race. The remaining candidates do not have bears.

Vermont Teddy Bear President CEO and President Bill Shouldice says in a statement, "Voting is a right too often taken for granted. Back in 2012, it was estimated that approximately 40% of Americans didn't vote. Forty percent! That's a travesty. Republicans, Democrats, Liberals, Independents; old, young; rich, poor – everyone should be exercising their right. The goal of Vermont Teddy Bear is to encourage greater interest and engagement in the political arena as we gear up for another important election year."

The teddy bear manufacturer and retailer has set up a page where you can vote for your favorite presidential candidate bear. The 15-inch bears retail for $79.99 each. The bears have shipping dates of later this month or early November.

The Hillary Bear is holding her BlackBeary. She is wearing a cobalt blue pantsuit, faux pearls and a campaign pin with her Hilary 2016 logo.

The Bernie Bear was introduced earlier this year. The bear features a gray suit, white shirt, blue tie and glasses. The Bernie bear has his hands out in front of him like he had often during the first Democratic debate.

Donald Trump is the Republican frontrunner. The Trump Bear is holding some money in one of his paws. He is wearing a black suit and a red satin tie.

Vermont Teddy Bear also created bears for two other Republican presidential candidates: Jeb Bush and Ben Carson. Jeb Bear is wearing a navy suit and a red and blue striped tie. He has his Jeb! logo pin. Carson Bear is wearing a lab coat and carrying a bag that says First Aid on it.
