"Look, this is pathetic. And this goes to the root of what Trump's campaign is about," said Sanders. "Let's be clear -- it's about bigotry. You remember, let's all remember, that a few years ago, Donald Trump was the leader of the so-called 'birther' movement. And what the birther movement was about was not being critical of Obama. This is democracy, we can criticize Obama. It was delegitimizing the first African-American president."
"It is not acceptable for a candidate for president of the United States to be arguing whether or not our President was born in this country."
Love you, Bernie!

(11,605 posts)But it was a fair point. Many here have said that she is making the campaign too much about Trump and not selling herself enough. Not only is she more likely to lose that way, but even if she wins, the narrative will be that Trump lost, not that she won a mandate.
