I've educated enough today with the definition of grandparents. By the way you just contradicted yourself and proved the stupidity of Trump's claim.

Birthers have been spewing the same crap for more than 2 years that Trump said in that
interview, he can't even come up with anything original.

Good grief, Obama's opponents, both R and D, tried their d*mnedest to do this in 2007-08, and couldn't. McCain, all of them, none could come up with anything. Yet these computer jocks here on CD think they've found the "Holy Grail"?

It depends on lots of things.

Why do this matter or merit investigation?

Btw, Scott Brown's mother received welfare benefits.

It's somebody they are obviously comfortable with.

They are politicans and could NOT investigate this properly. People will not re-elect a politian they do not like. Trump is not a politician "yet". He can go after Barry every day and there is nothing the Democrats can do about it.

And the more and more Trump goes after it the more ridiculous he will look. This was over three years ago when Obama went above and beyond what other candidates have done by publicly releasing his birth certificate which was verified by the state of Hawaii.

Donald Trump needs to clean his own house before he starts trying to run off on the wild birth certifcate goose chase. I want to see the immigration papers for his mail order bride (who is probably a Russian spy).

Don't be obtuse. You really think the grandparents couldn't have planted a birth announcement to aid their daughter in qualifying for benefits?

Maybe because if the woman never attempted to sign up for any sort of government assistance programs/welfare, there would be no point in going to such lengths to ensure she (her son) qualified.
