That's what I think, too. If there was anything on the real BC that could have shifted the nomination toward Hillary, the Clinton's would have made sure it got out there.

It won't be.

You HOPE it will so it will distract people from the failures of this administration.

If I were them, I'd be paying people to keep it in the spotlight.

She was a bona fide nutjob until the Tea Partiers showed up on the political scene and forced a recalibration of the scale - now she's merely eccentric. Compared to Trump's antics, hiding in the bushes to spy on a gay rally is pretty much to be considered normal.

She's also fairly well linked to the traditional GOP machinery, and they're trying like hell to stuff the genie back in the Teapot. It's something to watch.

Ditto. This whole thing is just dumb. With all the issues our country is facing right now, and the uncertain future of our country.... for people and the media to be so focused on this crap is really getting under my skin. We dont need this stupid pointless, distraction right now or anymore. He was born here so deal with it. There are a lot of actually legit things to take on Obama over, and this birth certificate nonsense is NOT one of them. Drop it for the sake of the country and focus on things that arent debunked conspiracies.

I say don't drop it totally - just put it on the back burner for now. There are people handling this - let them deal with it.

Admittedly Obama has a shady background but it's too late to use it against him.
