On this Throwback Thursday before Election Tuesday, several CNNers have taken to social media to share some of their most memorable moments on the campaign trail: both this year, and past elections. From Tapper and Bush, to Johns and Clinton, to Bash and another Bush.

Throwback Thursday 1996. Then First Lady @hillaryclinton after a trip all over Central Europe. She's the one in the hat in front. #CNNTBT #blastfrommypoliticalpast

It was 8 years ago tomorrow – Nov. 4, 2008 – when I projected Barack Obama would be the 44th President of the United States. #cnntbt #blastfrommypoliticalpast

Rare photo of when we started covering Election 2016 – and yeah, that's a typewriter. (circa 1982) #CNNTBT #blastfrommypoliticalpast

#CNNTBT to that time I interviewed Donald Trump at the Iowa State Fair in September 2015. Since then, I've been to 43 states, covering everything from his primary campaign and the movement that fueled his improbable early victories to his acceptance of the Republican nomination in Cleveland and his ensuing battle with Hillary Clinton for the presidency. In 5 days, I'll have the privilege of watching how this story ends. (📸 by @noahgray7, my road buddy ever since) #BlastFromMyPoliticalPast
