The 2016 race has been referred to as "a joke," a "clown car" and "an elaborate prank." Recently, some of the candidates are taking these insults quite literally by sending each other gag gifts.

On Tuesday, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton admitted that she mailed copies of her memoir, "Hard Choices," to the Republican presidential hopefuls so that they would stop "questioning my record of accomplishments." Now, Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) is trolling her right back by putting a copy of the book on eBay.

His website called "Hard Choices" a "great work of fiction." Paul is also auctioning off a copy of his own book, "Taking A Stand."

Some of the other Republican candidates responded to Clinton's prank on Twitter:

According to CNN, GOP frontrunner Donald Trump pranked Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) last week by sending him a case of Trump water bottles. Rubio was teased in 2013 after taking a sip of water during the GOP State of the Union response.
