No ‘Parallel’ Between Trump and Clinton on Birther Issue — CNN Panel Claims

Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton¿s campaign is aggressively outworking Republican Donald Trump in battleground Pennsylvania, a state the billionaire can scarcely lose and still hope to become president.

“I think her bodyguards should drop all weapons”. He has peddled it for years and is now promoting it to deflect attention from his own leading role in advancing the lie.

Unlike Clinton, Trump is committed to fully investing in our national defense.

Here is how Trump’s “birther” campaign unfolded. But this tiny piece of information is what Trump exaggerated into and anti-Obama birther movement in the Clinton campaign.

“We’ve got to fight for this thing”, Obama thundered at a rally in Philadelphia last Tuesday.

And her campaign took “responsibility” for not being “fast enough” in disclosing she had pneumonia after a video showed Clinton staggering leaving a 9/11 ceremony.

Both that claim, for which there is no evidence, and his remarks about Ms Clinton losing her secret service protection have, inevitably, served to stir a new storm of Democratic indignation.

And in recent years she has repeatedly blasted it, calling the movement “insidious” in a speech to supporters during an NAACP dinner in May.

Rumors emerged that she had had a stroke. Hillary Clinton often speaks of her husband’s retail political skills as being vastly superior to hers; at one point in his life, they were better than pretty much anyone’s. I’m also aware that in the larger sense there is no real comparison between Clinton’s serious, inclusive, fact-based campaign and Trump’s noxious stew of bigotry, resentment and juvenile fantasy.

Going further back, President Bill Clinton in May 2010 denounced birtherism as a “myth”.

“This kind of talk”, Mook said in the Clinton statement, “should be out of bounds for a presidential candidate, just like it should be out of bounds for a presidential candidate to peddle a conspiracy theory about the president of the United States for five years”.

But what about claims that top Clinton aides were involved? One raises the issue of Obama’s “lack of American roots”.

Americans are mulling the future of the country as the November 8 presidential election approaches.

Clinton gave a shorter address.

Clinton was in charge when the U.S. mission in Benghazi, Libya, was attacked and its diplomats killed in 2012. We can’t let Barack Obama’s legacy fall into the hands of someone who doesn’t understand that.

“At the time of Mr. Blumenthal’s conversation with me, there had been a few news articles published in various outlets reporting on rumors about Obama’s birthplace”. “The TV pool traditionally doesn’t participate in events that our reporters or producers are not allowed to attend”, said Bryan Boughton, Fox News Washington bureau chief and current chairman of the TV pool.

CNN has attempted unsuccessfully to reach Asher for comment. “There is something on that birth certificate that he doesn’t like”, he said in an appearance on ABC’s “The View”.

Clinton: “Of course not”. You know what I mean.

“We (also) need someone who is steady and measured, because when you’re making life or death, war or peace decisions, a President can’t just pop off”, Obama said. “Or you know, who knows”. You have no demonstrators taking to the streets on your behalf.

Kroft: “You don’t believe that he’s a Muslim or implying?” I’m saying I don’t know. You are a great American. Clinton’s doctors said her physical exam was normal, apart from the pneumonia, and that she was in excellent mental condition. Critics argued that they left the door open for unsavory innuendo. It has not changed much since, and according to Tammy Vigil of Boston University, Clinton is still struggling with it. It’s her stage now, to inhabit fully and publicly.

Donald Trump is the clear choice for voters who want a foreign policy that will restore American leadership in the world. “We’ve seen her dedication to public service”, she said.

While the Times daily tracker, which experiments with allowing voters to give their honest opinions anonymously, has always shown Trump with more support than other polls, it has still indicated he was in the low single digits among black voters nearly every day until his visit to Flint.
