Just two comments about the debate

First, if it were up to me - and it is not - I would keep out both the birther and the emails. Already discussed and discussed and, I think, most voters, the serious ones, that is, would rather hear proposals for the future.

Speaking of serious voters - one woman in Florida (I think) on CNN, complained that nothing was said about health care costs. Well, it was not a topic which was raised. No doubt it will be in one of the next.

I know it's been discussed plenty. But I'm always amazed when I hear a Trump supporter say, "well I haven't heard about that." Because it's usually something I've heard a million times, and thought that they would have as well. I'm even more amazed when I see that Trump DOES have some black supporters.

It's a very powerful message, and I hope it reached a lot of people that it hadn't already.

On top of that, Trump never has said what changed his mind. If he is going to continue suggesting that Democrats use African Americans for their vote then he should answer the question as to why he just finally changed his position. It seems to me, he made an insincere statement that Obama was born in the US - Period! simply so that he might gain more support from black voters.
