Denounce the Conspiracy Theory. Ill answer that question at the right time, i dont want to answer it yet. The reason i will talk about it everybody will be talking about it instead of jobs, the military, the vets and security. Falsely blaming Hillary Clinton for starting the birther speculation and credding trump with forcing the president to release proof of where he was born. Mr. Trump did a Great Service to the president and the country by bringing closure to the issue that Hillary Clinton and her team first raised. Inarguably johnled j. Trump is a closer. Having successfully obtained president obamas birth certificate when others could not, mr. Trump believes that president obama was born in the United States. Hillary clinton denouncing trump. Ask one more time, where was president obama born . And he still wouldnt say hawaii. He still wouldnt say america. This man wants to be our next president. When will he stop this ugliness, this bigotry . We need to stand up and repudiate this

So that the front car became airborne and just went straight into the train terminal at that point. It was a very fast situation. Fastmoving, and peop
By a weeklong spat with donald trump. Paul ryan has not answered questions since he decide and monday, said he would no longer defend or campaign for donald trump. Actually yesterday cancelled a 30minute q a session with business leaders. Today is expected to take questions from College Republicans. Expect the donald trump issue to come up and i am told if it does hes going to clarify his position about why he is choosing to focus instead on trying to save the Congressional Republican majorities and also say he just cannot defend the indefensible. So watch for that line of comment from paul ryan. Hes going to have a radio interview later this afternoon, too. Well hear even more from him on his fight with donald trump, but a moment in the campaign, wolf, paul ryan clearly has not wanted to talk about donald trump, did not intend to get into this weeklong feud with donald trump, even telling donors in a private conference all earlier this week, he did not mean to pick a fight with donald
