“One of the failures of the Republican Party is the way they let the birther movement metastasize — and that ultimately helped Donald Trump make it to the White House,”
Stopped reading right there. No point continuing to read an article that claims Obama was born in Hawaii, without submitting a shred of proof. We still do not know where the hell Obama was born. Obama has sealed all his records. Why? Can someone explain why?
Because he's a lying, filthy rotten, commie SOB..??
The main proof is the State of Hawaii sent a certified copy of his BC to the WH where they displayed it to two (clueless) reporters and made xerox copies for many more reporters. They scanned it and put it online for everyone to look at. But that's as far as it goes.
The rest of his records are sealed. The original BC in the files remains unseen by anyone (except Hawaiian officials).
But there are more important facts to consider. The WH staff took the BC sent from Hawaii and mucked with it in Adobe, turning it into a layered document. Thus they made it appear like it could have been altered. They did that to troll the birthers and many of the birthers lapped it up. It was not altered substantively only trivially.
What many people don't realize is that Trump is trolling them back with Russia. Russia is nothing more than a policy dispute, he is pro-Russia and the establishment is not. There isn't a shred of evidence of collusion or coordination or even much communication other than routine social meetings that the Dems also do and Flynn going to that dinner in exchange for $40k. Trump can keep this going as long as he wants to, although Muller will take a year before concluding much of anything. The media will continue to waste their time on a nothing story while Trump quietly gets the job done.
Listen to Trump's Coast Guard speech, he gave it as his personal advice to the graduates. The media is targeting him unfairly, and in response he will simply focus on getting his job done with even more determination.
