Some one give Shannon Sharpe a bigger platform. His intelligence is razor, his message is righteous and his delivery is spell-binding.

Reminder: The political theory behind "birtherism" was about legitimacy. Obama can't be a legit president. Now apply that theory to Trump.

I have seen people say that the president should step aside for the good of the country on account of him being an old man. But I hadn’t seen anyone say that the vice president should do the same thing for the same reasons, not until I read Kathleen Parker’s column. A THREAD.
