Trump will be speechifying any minute now in DC and will reported address the Birther issue - without a teleprompter -- nm - decline Sep 16, 07:51 10
- Politics is a flat circle--the birther movement began with Democrats supporting Clinton and opposing Obama. - ML Sep 16, 07:55 6
  - While, again, I believe there is false equivalency here since it was a small group on the dem side that never gained any traction and became a - pmb Sep 16, 07:57
  - And it got so much traction with Democrat voters. -- nm - Roger More Sep 16, 07:56 4
    - Just another example of how ill-suited these two candidates are in criticizing each other. -- nm - ML Sep 16, 07:57 3
      - Not in this case - has Hillary actively pushed a conspiracy theory the way Trump pushed birtherism? - Roger More Sep 16, 08:04
