guys i'm scared drumpf might actually win...
Lmao, that Drumpf stuff was terrible. It's pretty hypocritical of the Left to make fun of someone's name and lineage when they were so riled up about the birther movement.
And yes, we know Hillary ran ads questioning Obama's origin and religion in 2008. The hypocrisy is mind-boggling.
But the fact she ran pulled some dirty politics on the same subject shouldn't nullify the fact that Trump really cemented the birther topic as a big, national issue in 2012. Obama's birth certificate was actually the central issue of Trump's 2012 campaign, the reason he got in the race.
His 2012 campaign was a publicity stunt to help him remain relevant and drive up ratings/leverage for some of his TV shows and businesses. His 2016 campaign also started out as a publicity stunt but ended up becoming legitimate once people started taking him seriously.
I'm still amazed he pulled off the nomination with the GOP trying to derail his campaign at almost every turn. He's got a unique pulse on the American psyche.
The GOP's primary was more democratic than the DNC primary. Funny.
