certificate? it is a very good way for us to take a census of all of the idiots in the united states and let them surface. i think it should have gone on. it was hillary s campaign that found the announcements in the hawaii paper, so that pretty would debunk all of that foolishness. again, trump, he s the republican front-runner, and he s perfect for them. he s overweight and self-indulge he not and simpleton and he embodies the principles of the modern republican party. a short last word to that. you can be a simp you can a simpleton to be as successful he is in business. i disagree with him on the birth certificate issue, but i won t call him an issue. he s also been bankrupt four times. he s just like the republicans. not personally. only his businesses. we ll have to continue this offline. thank you for the conversation this morning.
