They are dominating the media and it pains me to say that but it is true. I don't think any campaign in history had so much control over the media narrative by making false accusations and playing around the story. Bannon is an evil fuck but he is a smart bastard, unlike orange turd.

He's getting ripped to shreds by it on Twitter by the pundit class.

Trump on the defensive? All he has to say is "no I didn't" and that's the end of it for the press.

Andy is deplorable. He gets off on trying to get away with saying stupid shit. You can see it with the smirk on his face.

Okay.
Trump can't get any minorities. Even the super villain mutant vote won't turn out, and they are mostly in line with Trump since they hate all humans and Trump hates some.

Don Lemon is ripping these Trump supporters
The birther issue is not a winning one for the Trump campaign at all

I won't ever forget in 2011 when Trump started (bringing back up) the birther shit. Went from being an entertaining blowhard to well, a piece of shit over night in my eyes, and reading the horror stories of his past and (at the time) ongoing racism truly made me regret ever giving him any attention.

The way the media is reacting to this I think this is a fuck up by Trump. Another Khan/curiel moment. People are gonna start digging for more and he has a lot of questions after the birth certificate was released that people will now quiz him on he can't keep punting and saying it's over now. Will remind people hes racist and why he can't be president

On the birtherism thing? Naw mate.
Rachel was going on about it. Chris Matthews has been. Even the people following Trump are going on about it. He managed to release a statement that will piss off the media a bit. Plus, he still hasn't said it. That's the hook of the story
Or...
Hillary can ignore it, honestly.
He hasn't said it himself, and she can keep repeating that (as well as other Democrats) he was the main birther for years. Because it honestly doesn't matter if Trump now personally believes Obama was born in the U.S., and I bet most Americans imagine he believes Obama is born in the US, or don't care what he believes now. They aren't letting him off the hook, but the Trump Campaign is trying to make this about a simple statement, but it isn't about that.
He questioned Obama's legitimacy, character and ended up looking stupid. That won't change, and the Clinton camp and Obama know this and they won't give a shit if he personally says he "believes" the President was born in the U.S. Trump is trying to lower the bar of the debate to whether he personally says it now or not, when the problem has never been that.
It has always been that he hounded the first black president for years about being "foreign" and illegitimate, and it doesn't matter what he does now just a month and a half before the election.
Cruz is still worse because he is an intelligent troll, unlike Trump who is just an idiot and looks like a troll.
You aren't kidding.

And Cruz and Trump are both quite vile.. but Cruz would've had the sense to build proper campaign machinery.

What. The. Fuck.
I don't stress over polls and shit. I'm not even stressing over this.
But it's makes my blood boil when clear falsehoods are treated like facts with no push back. It really shows the sad state of our media and I'm afraid for elections going forward.
Why tell the truth when you can just make up shit and repeat over and over like it's truth?

The worst thing about Trump's recent polling rise (aside from the whole prospect of Trump being President) is Jacobin Twitter bringing back the "Sanders led in all the polls lolz" stuff from four months ago.

Why are we talking like this is a possibility. He wants to run in 2020. He's not endorsing. Though I bet he baits Trump and attacks him to help Hillary a la Cristie in 2012
Hah hah, yeah, meant to say when he brought it up.
but his reasons were obvious and malicious.Ooooo yeah. Obama just got come out, call it bullshit in the sexy inspirational way he does and we good.

He legitimized it. Though it was already legitimized in a 1/3 of Republicans anyway.

He's going to be asked this at the debate. It will be the turning point. Hillary is going to ether him in front of millions around the world here and abroad.
He knows he has no future in the party, but he's definitely not the kind of guy who would cross the isle like this.

Some fringe Clinton supporters made shit up about the him not being born in the US, but it was the Tea Party and Orly Taitz that made this an issue worthy of Trump's attention.
Don't doubt that Trump will latch onto those Clinton supporters as his lifeline in this coming debate abouth the birther movement.

How is it brilliant? It's not like Democrats have made birtherism a key part of their anti-Trump argument- there's just so much more out there to use against him.
The only reason birtherism was brought up was because the media, which has been obviously treating Trump like a sideshow instead of a presidential candidate, decided to ask him against about it.
I'm surprised he's never directly addressed Trump's garbage accusation before.
