Trump and Clinton just jumped on the 'Pokémon Go' bandwagon
In a sign that we might have hit peak Pokémon Go, Hillary Clinton's campaign just announced it's holding an event at a PokéStop on Saturday.
Fans of the game or politics (or both) can indulge their loves at Madison Park in Lakewood, Ohio, according to an announcement from her press office.
In a statement so excitable it warrants three exclamation marks, the event page says: “Join us as we go to the PokéStop in Madison Park and put up a lure module, get free Pokémon, & battle each other while you register voters and learn more about Sec. Hillary Clinton!!!”
