It’s transparent why he’s leaving the church now. The campaign can’t take the trouble the church is causing.
I thought the Obama excuse was all of this was just out of context and had no relationship to what Obama went to that church for or what he’d ever heard from these figures he personally knew and politiked with for 20 years.
What I can not understand is why he didn't wait a couple weeks until after he had wrapped up the nomination. Then again by doing it before he (presumably) wrapped up the nomination he can claim a fresh start from day one as the nominee. Still it seems to give Puerto Rico, Montana and Oregon(?) voters one last chance to give Hillary a little Mo.
