THE 2020 presidential election has divided this country. Is it a good idea, then, to carry poop bags featuring the faces of candidate and President Donald Trump and candidate and former Vice-President Joe Biden? MetroPaws founders Jonathan and Megan Bolton think so!

“The idea is to encourage people to vote, to get people involved, to get people to get engaged,” Jonathan Bolton tells host Keith Miller in this episode of “Behind the Pages.”

Bolton and Miller offer stores advice on how to carry the Smear Campaign’s Democrap and Repooplican Poolitical bags without offending voters for either candidate. Bolton also shares how these bags came about and whether their sales are a predictor of who will win.
