Trump said his period of almost-complete silence on the issue following the release by the White House on April 27 of the image of a "Certificate of Live Birth" from the state of Hawaii was not because he was satisfied with the document.

That's really the trick, isn't it? Real or not, the BC issue is kryptonite to reason and sanity. It weakens anyone who handles it. Warps their perceptions. Destroys their credibility. It's not fair, but it is what it is.

Trump learned this the hard way, and his mentioning his concerns to Corsi in a phone call means nothing. Let him come out in public and declare them. I'll be surprised if he does. He was burned badly by the issue before. Even if he has strong doubt, is that doubt worth the pain? Especially knowing that the issue is going nowhere?

Trump's a hero and a patriot for jumping on this grenade, and freeing up the mainstream GOP candidates from having to deal with it. Hopefully, he continues to snipe at Obama from the sidelines. There's a lot he can do. I just don't think he's got the stomach for another public campaign on the BC issue. I don't think anyone with anything to lose does, either.

What I’ve got to lose is my country, and the quickest way for me to lose it is by putting my own reputation ahead of the truth.

If Trump does that, he is not a patriot. Any more than all the other wusses running for office are patriots, when they can watch a foreign usurper destroy this nation and only care about whether they would be “embarrassed” by being called a tee-hee “birther”.

Gag. I’d rather gargle acid than listen to any of them at this point.
