So how will the intellectually stunted horde that clings to Trump react to the 'birther' update?

Considering how many of them are grounded in their birther belief system, and have bought into all of the lies and nonsense he has been spreading for years, now, this has to be tough and confusing news to digest.

Those will even a scintilla of functioning intellect should realize that they have been being played.

One can only guess what Alex Jones will say about this......

They know that Don is still with them in his heart that Obama is a Kenyan.

a$$hole in other parts of the world - he uses it at all his rallies. Not sure if he's referring to his fans.

2. They're scrambling

Trump surrogates are scrambling right now, did not want to talk about it. Instead they talked about how Hillary was not on the campaign trail and Trump was visiting important places.

4. Wasn't he visiting his new hotel? Admittedly, that is important to him.

But from the sounds of it, not too important to anyone else.

BTW, I give it a year, at most, before it goes bankrupt, too.

Trump's act is a wrestling schtick. The crowd loves to be angry and yell. He gives it to them.

Anyone familiar with Vince McMahon's WWE knows that he incorporates his children into the show. Rich, slutty, disgraced, etc.....and it all revolves around Dadday (Vince). Sound familiar? Trump doesn't degrade his kids though. I'd be shocked if McMahon didn't advise him at the beginning or even now. Trump actually fake fought McMahon at a WWE Wrestlemania.

I couldn't stand watching him. But I bet if you watched he did a wink wink nod nod bit.

But on the up side, a tree that was about to topple, now won't and I have more firewood.

I'll catch up on this story tonight. No doubt Rachel will have some good coverage.

11. They'll rationalize it by saying he "has to say this" to get elected. That's all.

But it's the rest of what he's saying today that is really getting him in hot water.

I present you with the Twitter #birtherism

Looks like some are doubling down, and somehow still rallying behind Trump. Logic isn't their strong point.
