[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This subject was [b]originally pushed hard[/b] by the Clinton team in 2008.

Trump's loathsomeness on this is true, but it is dishonest to not acknowledging the Clinton culpability.[/quote]
Citation?
Right, there's no evidence. Don't let that stop you from spouting out of your ass.[/quote]

I guess you don't follow the political news. This is common knowledge. Hillary was blasted for it in 2008 by others in the party.[/quote] 
This has been thoroughly debunked. Only a joker would cite Breitbart.[/quote]

No, it hasn't been debunked. HRC's campaign started with the dog whistle racist attacks on Obama questioning his Americanism. That then spawned other HRC supporters in 2008 taking it one step further with the birther movement. After HRC conceded, some HRC supporters continued with the birthed argument and then it was picked up by people on the right and amplified. There is no doubt that HRC's dog whistle racism directed at her supporters directly spawned the birther movement. [b]Eventually Trump investigated the very serious allegations[/b] and in 2011 he successfully forced resolution of the issue that was spawned by HRC's campaign in 2008. [/quote]

Oh, he did, did he, after whipping people into a froth over it? You sound like a Putin-head - Trump the warrior valiant, Trump the investigator supreme!

If he resolved it so neatly, why couldn't he just answer yesterday, "yes, Obama is a citizen."? [/quote]

Obviously these were very serious allegations first raised by HRC supporters AFTER HRC's campaign worked its supporters into a froth by questioning Obam's Americanism. As a private citizen and without the power of government,  Trump successfully leveraged all legal means available to him to compel the release of the birth certificate.

Trump explained yesterday that he didn't want to answer an issue that was raised by the media because that's all the media would end up talking about. Obviously, he was correct as even a non-answer has many people talking about an issue that was resolved in 2011. Imagine how much more discussion there would be today if he had directly addressed the issue.

While it's unfortunate that HRC's operatives and supporters started this whole ugly episode, Trump settled it and in an official statment last night, the Trump campaign acknowledged that after Trump investigated and resolved the issue, Trump believes Obama was born in the USA. And yet today, here we are talking about it. [/quote]
