Since I first studied our political system back in HS Civics, I’ve been such a fan of our two party system. If one party feels they have better solutions to the issues, they can put them forth and campaign on them. Too bad the GOP must not have learned the same civics lesson. They seem in general, and their presidential candidate in particular, hung up on being birthers, and using myth and innuendo to try and harm the other candidate.
The joke was received with a hearty applause by the audience. Still, it was an awkward moment for the candidate to play on the birth certificate conspiracies that have plagued Barack Obama since he ran for president in 2008, even after the president released his “long-form” birth certificate in 2011.
