American Photoshop glory: 2016 presidential candidates posing with their younger selves

In a year of questionable politicking, one thing is for certain: The campaign trail is not great for the skin. 

In honor of Tuesday's New York primary, we Photoshopped the 2016 presidential election candidates with their younger selves to show how time, politics and all that baby-kissing has changed them. 

Take a look at how far these politicians (and Donald Trump) have come and just imagine what four years in the White House could do. (Sorry, Obama.)
