Trump has not refuted it himself, despite everyone saying he no longer believes Obama wasn't born in the US. He has not admitted he was wrong. It could have been easy to avoid, but Trump has dodged the question, which is a valid one.

I think it's a little troubling that there actually is a debate whether the governing president who has been in office for 8 years is, in fact, American. Also I feel like this Hillary health thing is the birther version of a female candidate. If the guy is black question his citizenship, if the candidate is a woman question her health. Given this amount of originality if the US get their first Jewish president what's it going to be? Whether he's part of the Illuminati?

those are fair points, but my question was why did it suddenly come up in unison in the media. Did he say something recently about it?

Reporters asking questions. Both candidates are answering questions about previous statements and stances.

It's because he's doing black voter outreach, but has not apologized for being a birther.

He must have said something dumb recently, the media usually doesn't randomly pounce like that. Also Chris Wallace is the moderator for the final debate, he could end HRC if he asks about the lie she told him on their last interview together.

They might just be fishing, it's been too long since his latest gaffe.

Ironically enough, it's that he's an atheist.

Subject: No shit
It might may no difference, but for KY and WVA can we get someone to ask his belief. Does he believe in a God. He had skated on saying he has a Jewish heritage. I think I read he is an atheist. This could make several points difference with my peeps. My Southern Baptist peeps would draw a big difference between a Jew and an atheist.

He appeared on Russian TV today.

Did this really happen? Is Trump from Neptune or something?
|
This honestly sounds like the botched translation of some 90s snes game. The only thing missing is "all your base are belong to us"
|
LOL honestly how does he even come up with this stuff. The man is a fountain of creativity.

Unobtainium? Meteria? Vibrainium? Has anyone checked it Trump knows Japan has the 7 crystals from Final Fantasy? What about the infinity stones?

His surrogates have been quizzed on it a few times in recent days.
Unless you mean appearing on Putin-TV is a gaffe, which is arguable. I think his 'Putin, STRONG' comments from a few days ago are discussion worthy, but they aren't the headliners people want.

He appeared on Russian funded television and claims he did not know about it. It was an interview with Larry King, I believe. Clinton was asked about it at her press conference today.
The Nixon style " I have a secret plan to beat ISIS" is enough of a gaff.

Bunch of stuff from the Value Voters Summit on cspan. Seen some bits and pieces of it over the day; not surprising, but always annoyed at the sometimes used unsound statements and speeches. But, my tolerance of them is growing.
I imagine Trump secretly thinking Evan Jellical was a person.

Clinton following the successful example of Mitt "47%" Romney and insulting voters.
|
Had the Republican Party been capable of getting its shit together this would be a blowout for them. But instead they're losing to Hillary because they're just that bad.
|
People who even contemplate voting for Trump would never vote for Hillary. This election is about driving turnout up. If insults would have any detrimental effect Trump would be polling in the negative numbers. Also she's probably right
