2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumHow will the hard-core birthers among the Trump supporters react
to Trump's statement that Obama was born in the US? Will they figure that his campaign made him say that and he doesn't really believe it? Will they be less enthusiastic about Trump? Will they feel let down? I'm wondering what effect, if any, this will have on Trump's knuckledragger base.

and say the evil liberal media "forced" him to hide his true beliefs and say this one little lie that he thinks Obama is a real American.
There is no reaching them, I fear.

So with one kill shot, what has Trump accomplished?
1. He took the birther thing off the table for the Dems to tamp down black support.
2. He finished taking the air out of Hillarys 8X number of generals who dont like Trump.
3. He has gotten the press completely self-absorbed, attacking him over something that has NO BEARING WHATSOEVER on the lives of regular folks, who dont really care, but might lightly chuckle, at the frustrations of journalists.
4. The last image of HRC left before Trump took ALL THE OXYGEN OUT OF THE ROOM was sick Hillary, deceiving Hillary, collapsing Hillary. She or her double can do cartwheels across the field of Mile High Stadium. It doesnt matter. No one will see it.
5. WINNING!
6. And all without a single negative sound bite to try to throw back at him without looking small.

They're still doing the spittle-throwing crazed outrage routine on CNN an hour later. Had the Congressional Racist Caucus people all lined up to denounce Trump, too. Such disappointment.
Never saw such excitement at a hotel opening. And there I went thinking the MSM doesn't like Trump...

And many of them are unable to let go, even now:
Trump simply agreed with the purported birth certificate image that was posted. It says Obama was born here.
No one has ever examined any document.
That image says Obamas afther is a foreign national.
That alone makes him not a natural born citizen.
The founders tried to prevent this.
They put the natural born citizen requirement in there.
Barry Soetoro/Barack Hussein Obama should be proof enough of the wisdom of the founders when they tried to prevent him from being President by requiring someone who could only be a US citizen and nothing else.
Born here of citizen parents.
Naturally a US citizen because there is no other possibility.
One cannot be anything else and also be a natural born citizen.
Obama told us he was born a British Subject.
Who believes Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Jay, Monroe, Madison, etc. would have found him to be a natural born citizen?
Usurpation Day, January 20, 2009, happened with the complete cooperation of both parties.
They want the Constitution changed without the hassle of amending the Constitution.
Confuse people about the clear meaning of a three word phrase and voila, every anchor baby and Winston Churchill is eligible.
The bench was the reason the GOP went along with the fig leaf resolution for McCain that was used by the Democrats as cover for Obama.
Jindal, Rubio, Haley and Cruz were all up and comers and the future of the party and ineligible.
The truth of the Kenyanesian Usurpation will never see the light of day because both parties cooperated in the violation of the Constitution
