exactly who took what for granted?
try that next time your boarding an airplane
YOU must supply more documentation to board an airplane... and that’s not Constitutionally required
What I meant was that previous presidents or candidates as well were not under suspicion of being non-NBC except Chester Arthur, and he hid facts about his background and lied. But no one doubted that the others were not NBCs.
This situation is entirely different. So different that I hope a book is being written and will soon be published, describing exactly who he really is and what crimes were committed and by who, to hide it all.
I am not saying that it’s okay to take it for granted that candidates are what they say they are. They should provide every bit of documentation AND go through a fine tooth comb background and security check.
