2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWe need to refocus on Trump's "Birther-ism". Making Trump re-embrace or renounce the President's
citizenship is a key issue.
Trump's running away from the issue by "not talking about it anymore"
We, and the media, must force the issue to be talked about by Trump again either way.
If he embraces it again great.
Then he is the Great Racist of American Politics forever.
If he renounces it, great.
His basket of deplorables will know he's weak, wishy washy does what his handlers tell him to do and can't be trusted either.
They may even realize he has been using them all along.

(1,907 posts)apologizing and not just for his birther statements. When he did that he was also lying to the American public. He needs to apologize first to President Obama. Then to the public for the birther lie and saying he had people over in Hawaii and the found some really shocking stuff. He doubled down on his lies.
