"This started with Hillary Clinton's campaign, No. 1 ," Trump campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said during an interview on CBS' "Face the Nation." "No. 2, it was Donald Trump who put the issue to rest when he got President Obama to release his birth certificate years later. And, No. 3, he said that "President Obama was born in this country, period."

Disagree. If one of the stories of the next month and a half is that Obama is a fraud, Trump’s “What have you got to lose” line looms large in Black voters’ minds. It could flip a lot of Hillary fence-sitters or cause others to stay home.

It also ties SoS Hillary to the fraud, and forces her to spend time explaining her knowledge of it.

Meanwhile, Trump gets to smile without ever saying “I told you so” and talk about whatever issue he wants to.

How is it that no one points out that it is individuals in the state of Hawaii that are actually culpable?

People acting for the state declared the information true, making the document itself moot.

I know there’s a hobby of trying to parse statements from Hawaii, but every court in America will accept Hawaii’s authentication short of ironclad proof otherwise.

No one can authenticate their own place of birth. It HAS to be done by others.

Trump is running rings aroud the media. he knows to expect their bias and he has some really intelligent pople now advising him how to use that extreme bias against him. Trump may very well win by a landslide in November, best since Reagan.
