In new ad, John Kasich compares Jeb Bush to the 'Macarena'
Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) wants people to equate fellow presidential candidate "Jeb Bush" with "super old and obsolete," which is why his latest ad is all about Bush enjoying things no one has thought about in years.
"He hasn't been [governor] for almost a decade," the video's YouTube description reads, "but Jeb Bush still loves the good ole days." Some of his "faves" include the Sony Betamax (a video recording system introduced in 1975); the AMC Pacer (a two-door car from the '70s); ColecoVision (a video game console last produced in 1985); and the "Macarena" (everyone's favorite '90s dance craze). Put on your Hammer pants, grab a Discman and a glass of Crystal Pepsi, and watch the video below. Catherine Garcia
