There is an alarming lack of clarity about Donald Trump‘s current views on whether President Obama was born in this country or not.

(...)

WPVI’s Matt O’Donnell asked Trump in Philadelphia yesterday about this. Here’s how he answered:

O’DONNELL: You don’t talk about the birth certificate anymore. Do you regret even bringing it up?

TRUMP: I don’t talk about it anymore. I don’t talk about it anymore.

O’DONNELL: Do you regret bringing it up back then?

TRUMP: I told you, I don’t talk about it anymore.

So if Hillary wants to make the email story go away, all she has to do is simply say, "I don't talk about it anymore," and the press will also give her a pass and be equally willing to accommodate her wishes, right?

1. "all she has to do is simply say, 'I don't talk about it anymore,'"

That would definitely be the day that hell freezes over!

2. Hey dumpster you know what we call the "head" birther

a racist bigot.

Bawaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa , don't ask me that question Bawaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

You made your bed "dude' now sleep in it, now it coming back to haunt you

[FarPoint]

3. Sure he is...

He does not deny it....just circumvented the issue
...so, his last stance remains his current stance.

4. So, Mr Trump, can I quote you as saying "Yes, I am still a birther?"

5. Will they ask him this question during debates?

Or does interviews like this get it out of the way, off the table for him?

Because yes the OP is correct, if it's off his plate, Hillary is entitled to
one or two off her plate as well.

9. I'm not very happy about the choices for moderator(s)

Why can't Gwen Ifill do any?

[lastlib]

13. And *Martha Effin' Raddatz*??!?

:Apply Rock to Forehead--Swiftly :

on Gwen Ifill--she would rock! No bullshit-flinging would be tolerated.

6. Don the Con can't afford to alienate his bigoted bagger base, so of course he

"doesn't want to talk about it." Hey, putz, we're all still waiting for that "tremendous report" that "your people" were supposed to release

Asshole is too good a word for him.

7. "He has people in Hawaii and you wouldn't believe what they're finding"

I guess no one would because he never mentioned it again. Still, someone should ask.

15. His "people in Hawaii" was just Meredith McIver working on her tan.

8. That's what he always does...

regarding anything anyone tries to hold him accountable to. He just refuses to answer, period. I hope to hell Lester Holt, and the others put an end to this if the debates actually happen. Surely he won't be allowed to just stand there with that stupid look on his face and blow the questions off.

10. Yes, dearest, but WE haven't forgotten. . .

. . .and once it goes on the Internet, it's there forever.

[VOX]

11. Most political answer from a "non-politician" ever.

His base will interpret his refusal to discuss his birther lunacy as "avoiding the gotcha-liberal media."

2016 will go down as one of the weirdest years yet. And there's ample time to make it weirder!

[Third Doctor]

12. Yes he is.

A leopard doesn't change it's spots.

[SunSeeker]

14. What did your investigators find in Hawaii, Donald?

This is the first question they should ask him at the debates.

What a fucking racist, cowardly, lying sack of shit. And the media isn't even calling him out on it.
