Trump admitted the President was born in the US so they could blame Hillary

[liberal N proud]

That is the whole objective of Trump's Friday stunt.

We all think the media suddenly got a spine? They are being played like a fiddle. Every Trump surrogate repeats the same lie on every talking head show. They are using this as a way to project Trump's entire last 8 years of rhetoric on Hillary.

The media has stood up to it but only marginally. They call the lie but then just let the surrogate repeat the same thing and it goes unchallenged because of time constraints.

We can only say the media has turned on Trump if they start calling him for his other lies.

1. They are slime.

This is what happens when Steve Bannon is the CEO of a campaign. Disgusting pigs, all of them.

6. The media, who refuse to do their fuckin' job and report on all the tRump lies are swine too.

2. Game plan.

Even though Allen Martin is the real source. Press knows darn well the real source,but they are going to run with the Hillary angle until they can't.

8. Andy Martin (n/t)

3. While he blamed Hillary for it, I don't think he did admitted it for that reason.

I think he admitted it because his campaign believed it would come up during the first debate, and it was their plan that he be able to say, that "I've acknowledged that he was born here and I'm not going to talk about it any more. We've moved on." This is based on the information that was coming out of his campaign late Friday, that he was upset that they made him do it. However, my belief is being the liar he is, he couldn't let it go at that. He had to tell another lie. He can't help himself. He's a compulsive liar and that is the reason I hope that enough of the country has had enough of him and won't allow themselves to put a Liar-in-Chief in the White House. I hope that is what caused William Weld to change his mind and consider supporting Hillary.

9. ... and then Lester Holt... if he had a spine... should give the time to answer to Hillary & then he

.... her answer too.

This is the a run for the POTUS not the "I'm going to do what the fuck I want to" office of this land, the media has no back bone

4. I think that is the plan .... Have heard Conway already over the weekend starting blaming Hillary

Hannity had her on Friday . No I did not watch I flip it on to see what he is yelling about then flipped back to what I had on . I hope Andy Martin information get out there . Guessing , I would think Chris Hayes will at least address this .

5. Obama will eviserate this lie.

He will wait for the right time, for maximum exposure.

7. Bingo, Trump won't slip away this time

by using one conspiracy theory to spin out of the previous one, which is his typical move.

The idea that H (or her campaign) started birtherism has been thoroughly debunked:

No, Hillary did not start the birther conspiracy - CNN

Birtherism is the 'cut above Trump's eye' and Dems/O/H (if they're smart) will keep punching at it all the way 'til election day. There is no downside to it, and it helps to reassemble the Obama coalition.

Obama himself will destroy Trump over this, and the longer Trump tries to spin the' H started it, I was only doing a public service' bullshit routine, it will stay in the news for the media/Dems/O/H to keep pounding at.

11. I think it was a bonus throw in for them...

the real purpose was the infomercial for his new hotel.
