"I have people that have actually been studying it and they cannot believe what they're finding"

He has people in Hawaii "that actually have been studying it and they cannot believe what they're finding". Oh, really? Well, we know that was a lie.



In 2011, Donald Trump was caught red-handed in a lie about the investigation into the President's birth certificate and nobody called him on it.

This should be a bombshell issue in the 2016 campaign.

Donald Trump should be pressed now, during this campaign, to answer exactly whatever happened to those unbelievable findings?

How could something unbelievable that Trump claimed was already found, suddenly disappear when President Obama released his long form birth certificate?

You cannot retract from existence something you already claimed existed unless you were lying.

A person who lies about an inquiry into whether a sitting president is legitimately allowed to hold the office of president, is unfit to be elected president themselves.

Trump needs to be pressed by the media and the democratic nominee (hopefully during a debate) to answer this FULLY. Not dodge, deflect or distract. Answer the question.

In regards to Obama's birth certificate, where did these alleged "findings" of his "people" that "they cannot believe" disappear to?

"Sad how Democratic Underground allows some folks to insult at large, yet stick up for yourself and they take down posts. Whoever you jurists are maybe you should get together and figure this out. My post sticking up for myself are neither rude nor insulting in any way." Don't dish it out in one breath and play victim in the next.

Either Trump will have to admit he "exaggerated" or was lied to by his own people. And either option is not going to look good for Trump.

he can't bring himself to admit he did anything wrong. So I propose pressuring him about all his failures and keep insisting he has to apologize and admit he was/is wrong on a regular basis... meltdown should happen rather quickly if that's all anyone wants to talk about. It isn't like there's no material out there.

That's the way to keep your political opponents always on the defensive instead of allowing them to control the narrative.

I'm sick and tired of all this birther stuff! In the 2008 election, Obama was definitely the one who had the stronger claim for being born in this country - McCain, according to his birth certificate, was born in Panama! But no republican birther ever screamed bloody murder about that. And why? The Republicans have an amazing ability to turn a blind eye whenever the violation concerns one of their own party. Or if they're good ole white boys.

Sorry to burst your McCain bubble, which I admit I despise McCain, but he was born on a military installation in the Canal Zone. Both his parents were in the Navy, so.....

If he is the nominee, the very first thing Clinton/Sanders should ask Trump during their very first debate is where is the birther evidence you uncovered. "Where is it or is that another Trump lie?". Another thing should be asked is... "Is it worst to store emails on a private server, that at the time was not illegal, or commit flagrant fraud by bilking people out of thousands of dollars through a defunked "Trumped up Trump University?"
