As we told you earlier, Hillary Clinton’s attempt to court millennial voters entered Pokemon Go territory when the presumed Democrat nominee unleashed this groaner:
Clinton: "I don't know who created Pokemon Go, but we need to figure out how to make them make Pokemon Go…to the polls."

And it was totally off-the-cuff! Just kidding. The “joke” required plenty of prep for Clinton:
Per an aide, Clinton was briefed by staffers on Pokemon Go yesterday while flying back to DC. https://t.co/3q7HjMDHAP

I'm with @mattyglesias in that I find lame parent-humor both authentic and relatable.
