Think Trump and Clinton fall flat? Vote for Cat in the Hat

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Voters who think presidential candidates Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton fall flat can now choose the Cat in the Hat.

The Cat announced his candidacy Tuesday in Springfield, Massachusetts, outside the childhood home of Dr. Seuss.
