A line I hope Hillary will use during a debate with Trump:

"While you were busy ranting about President Obama's birth certificate, we were hunting down and killing Osama bin Laden."

I can't understand why Trump's birtherism isn't a major issue undermining his credibility. Ridiculing his obsession with the president's birth certificate sure got him steamed during the National Press Club Dinner. It seems to me worth a try to get him to defend his years long "quest" that ended in such a humiliating smack down.

that he supporters like about trump. The fact that he can't tell anyone about the amazing stuff his team of crack investigators found doesn't matter.

. . . that Trump will even agree to debate Clinton. He'll manufacture some excuse to refuse.

There's no upside for him to debate her. He has the heart of a bully -- i.e., he's a coward -- and that will override his ego.

This election is far from over. I think Mrs. Clinton has it in the bag now, but there is still five months of total bullshit to endure.

That's what I mean by "far from over."
