They use birtherism as a cloak for their racism. Similar to how they use claims of voter fraud and welfare fraud.

It's like delivering the first punch and running away like a coward. That's quite easy when you own the bully pulpit and much of our press.

Funny how they never can seem to substantiate their claims when people call them out.

There is nothing supreme about them. They espouse garbage.

is unwritten and only lives in the minds of racist sexist idiots. Kind of like American born H1Bs. And it doesn't matter if you're actually a Russian puppet if you're white.

Women have run for and won political office before they had suffrage.

The win needs to come in November.

There is no winning until after the election.

We need to make that happen. Everything else is, well, not as important.

Without a November win, all else is pyrrhic.
