Let the political games begin!
As the United States presidential race has recently entered the debate stages we are seeing domains registered that are making news.
In one case, candidate Joe Biden closed out by telling viewers to go to "Joe30330." It was a gaffe in that he intended to tell people to, "text." That didn't stop someone from immediately registering the domain and forwarding it to an opponent. Apparently, as reported, the site got 80,000 hits after the debate.

In another case of political domaining a candidate used the words "dark psychic force" to describe the Trump campaign. The domain was instantly snatched and redirected to the Trump campaign.
However, the game didn't stop there. In a twist someone registered the plural version and forwarded the domain to Trump's opponents.
One thing for sure, there will be no shortage of political games, involving domains, as the election cycle ramps up.
