Trump is timing the kill for the next or last debate.

How about, “Hillary fired those shots, they hit no one and now they cannot be reused in future debates?” Meanwhile, Trump has a full arsenal to go after Hillary with.

Obama’s father is a British subject. How does that make Obama a natural-born citizen?

Snopes validates that Obama’s agent pushed him as born in Kenya

http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/birthers/booklet.asp

They call it TRUE

ORIGIN:In May 2012 the web site Breitbart published a copy of a promotional booklet produced in 1991 by the literary agency Acton & Dystel showcasing their roster of writers, among whom was a young man named Barack Obama. This booklet was of particular interest because it included a brief biographical sketch which described the future President as having been born in Kenya:

Barack Obama, the first African-American president of the Harvard Law Review, was born in Kenya and raised in Indonesia and Hawaii. The son of an American anthropologist and a Kenyan finance minister, he attended Columbia University and worked as a financial journalist and editor for Business International Corporation. He served as project coordinator in Harlem for the New York Public Interest Research Group, and was Executive Director of the Developing Communities Project in Chicago’s South Side. His commitment to social and racial issues will be evident in his first book, Journeys in Black and White.

He did fine on those two issues, except didn’t fight back against the racist label for questioning it.

Let’s use the acronym WTSHS.

It’s becoming a thing.

Seems like many of us are more articulate than DJT.

Trump should have said, that after Zer0 produced that birth certificate, he at first accepted it as a closed issue. He put it out of his mind and went on. However, as people began looking into the birth certificate and finding it to be a fake birth certificate, there are many who still have concerns. Trump should have said that Obama is a U.S. citizen until proved otherwise. And, for him, he is putting that question out of his mind by giving the easy answer and letting others find the hard answer.

There were two dozen coulda shouldas. He didn’t prepare for s**t.

I don’t care if you get all “A”s on your tests during the semester. You still study for the final exam.

Well over 80% of the goombah she threw at him was perfectly predictable and could have been constructively turned into zingers that threw her on her heels against right now, in the news, salacious stuff.

I don’t think it will affect votes much. But it was a strategic blunder as far as the debate is concerned.

Why not embed all these suggestions in the email questionnaires that we get From Donald, Eric, Donald Jr.?

There's a free form comment section at the bottom of the questionnaire.

Best answer on the birther question: Thank you for the question. Barack Obama is not on the ballot this year, no one cares about it. If you want more info, ask Mrs Clinton since it was her campaign that brought it up in 2008. Next question please.

Obama definitely, without any question, started and sustained the Born in Kenya myth. But arguing this with the likes of Lester is a lost cause.

My tack would be to cite one definite source that confirms Hillary’s original birther activities, and then shift gears. I.e.: list the three or four most pressing issues facing the country, and demand to know why the questions don’t center on those—the big concerns on voters’ minds.

Yep, I’ve been using the rope-a-dope analogy since Monday night. Whether by design, or by accident, I don’t really care. The fact is, Trump has taken the jabs (zingers) with little to no damage, revealed that the fight was rigged, and preserved his strength for rounds two and three. Good job Donald!!

Forget the birther issue we are all still waiting to see his college records? And btw when are we going to see your medical records?

I agree with shifting gears, but to do that, a person needs a quick comment on the subject and then shift.

What should it be?

“The birther accusation came out of the Clinton camp in 2008, and it claimed Obama was born in Kenya. It was never answered, so rather than leave the question out there, I looked up the information and settled it.”

Or, you could add the line, “....born in Kenya, AS WAS REPORTED IN ONE STATEMENT FROM OBAMA’S OWN PEOPLE AND CONFIRMED BY SNOPES,...”
