Hillary Clinton joked on Thursday that she wanted people to develop a game called “Pokémon Go to the Polls.” Some of her young volunteers turned her questionable pun into reality this weekend, using the viral app to register new voters in Lakewood, a suburb of Cleveland.

Egad, can you imagine following a map to watch that hateful skank shreak at you? The game would be about finding hiding places to avoid her.

Pokemon go is the latest hottest fad.

Why dies Hillary mention it? Does she really think that somehow this makes her seem cool and with it, if she knows about Pokemon go???

To be fair, Trump did make that GO-themed "crooked Hillary" post on Facebook.

Also, the President of Israel, Reuven Rivlin, posted an image of himself playing the game in his office.

It's just the hot thing now, and politicians everywhere want to appear hip.

A close second to her astonishingly annoying voice is Hillary’s attempts at humor, which always fall with an embarrassing dull thud.

If that’s the mentality of the people who vote for her, she can have them. Pretty pathetic.

Well, since Pokemon is satanic, Hillary’s comments aptly fit.
See link for game’s creator admitting he developed Pokemon as anti-Christian and aimed towards satanists.......

That is a fake interview, it was meant to be a joke, satire.

Here is the real one:

No. I'd say it was stupid but to each their own.

Still doesn't change the fact that the "interview" you posted was fake and you got punked.

You are right that it does not change the fact that the interview was a fake and I am grateful to you in pointing that out to me. However the fact does remain that we Christians recognize any attempt to call up occult powers for any purpose, and that includes gaming, to be very dangerous..... The 2nd link explains this in detail.
Is Pokemon dangerous? Potentially, yes it is. It conditions the child who plays the game into accepting occult and evolutionary principles. Haunter can hypnotize, eat a person's dreams, and drain their energy. Abra reads minds. Kadabra emits negative energy that harms others. Gastly induces sleep. Gengar laughs at peoples' fright. Nidoran uses poison. The Psychic type of Pokemon are among the strongest in the game. Charmander, Haunter, Ivysaur, Kadabra, and many more evolve. The children are taught to use these creatures to do their will by invoking colored energy cards, fights, and commands. Much of it is reminiscent of occult and eastern mysticism.

The Bible says to "Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it" (Prov. 22:6).1 2 Chron. 33:6 says, "And he made his sons pass through the fire in the valley of Ben-hinnom; and he practiced witchcraft, used divination, practiced sorcery, and dealt with mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking Him to anger."

I do not see how allowing children to play with games that encourage fighting, reading of minds, use of poison, mimicry, taunting, teleportation, hypnosis, and evolution can be a good thing. This is not training a child to righteousness, it is accepting the occult and secular evolution. Is this what we, as Christians, want our children to meditate on? Of course not.

If children are conditioned to accept these things in youth, then they will be more likely to accept these ideas in adulthood. This leads people away from God's word and truth, not toward it. This is dangerous to a person's eternal destiny.

She is simply pathetic.

She is like the female version of Weekend at Bernie’s - they just spackle her makeup on, dress her up, roll her out and have her spew some sh!t some intern came up with at the ‘New Ideas for Hillary’ brainstorm sessions.
