The Republican Party’s presidential ticket has at least one voice of reason, and it’s not the man at the top of the ticket.<\/p>\n

No. The reasonable, sane voice comes from the vice presidential nominee, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, who has broken with presidential nominee Donald Trump on the most outrageous element of his campaign for the White House: that Barack Obama was born somewhere other than Hawaii, one of the nation’s 50 states.<\/p>\n

Pence said he accepts that President Obama is duly qualified to hold his office, that he isn’t a foreign-born imposter that Trump has alleged for longer than Obama has been president.<\/p>\n

I don’t really care. Trump’s assertion of President Obama constitutional illegitimacy is laughable on its face.<\/p>\n\n
