Republicans also hurt the Republican Party....never forget that. The Party needs to be gone through and reorganized to serve the people, not their own ambitions. They either bring this country back to what it was meant to be “We the people”, or they walk away and open the door for a new party.
And the Birth Certificate issue is in line with what you posted. Potentially, pursuing that issue can be embarassing to the GOP (if we’re wrong) and therefore could serve as a setback to those Republicans with personal ambitions. However, the more important issue to to serve the people and to defend the Constitution, and in that spirit, Republicans are being derelict if they do not pursue the Birth Certificate issue.
