I keep bringing this up because I think its the main reason he is going to lose. It's like when the old southern Democrats (now Republicans) got all defensive when people suggested "states rights" was a racist rallying call.
Playing stupid and/or like the victim of the media only works for so long.
By the way guys...you don't seriously think Hillary Clinton herself was sitting around sipping tea and came up with the birther shit herself...do you? This is the work of political operatives that have been exploiting the values of the working class their whole career.
The reality is that Hillary briefly flirted with it, but she never publicly embarrassed any theory about Obama not being born in the US. Trump did, repeatedly. Pawning this off on Clinton probably wont work in the long run.
This is important issue, in the sense that there is a very good chance this could make the difference between a Trump victory or defeat. No one thing has given him the "racist" label, but any kind of defense he comes up with has to include why he was spearheading birtherism for months as his primary campaign issue.
Edit: 72 percent of registered Republican voters still hold doubts about the President’s citizenship, even as his second term in office enters its final months. <

The isn't going to die.... I would love to talk about real issues. This country is too stupid for that ATM. You Trump supporters forgot that's the only reason your candidate has a chance in the first place.
