Local Business Gets Political With Piñatas

Presidential nominees Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are not alone when it comes to preparing for Monday's debate.

Carlos DeLafuente, the owner of ABC Party Headquarters, has been working overtime filling orders for piñatas resembling both presidential candidates.

Last year, when the presidential campaigns began heating up, so did DeLafuente's business.

"My phone was ringing off the hook, said DeLafuente. "I didn't start out trying to be political. People started asking for Trump piñatas last year and now we're on a two week waiting lists. People want them for parties, events, company parties, or for a costume. People fill them with all kinds of things: candy, money, baloney," he said.

In the past, DeLafuente has made Hillary and Obama piñatas.

"I would make them now if people were ordering them. Right now I only get calls for Trump," he said.
