Ugh.

From ABCnews.com:

Has Donald Trump found a winning issue for the 2012 election cycle?

That's the premise for the report on how Donald Trump has launched a media tour resurrecting the debunked conspiracy theory about how the President of the United States was not born in America. At ABC News, this is seen as a potential “winning issue.”

But why is peddling discredited nonsense like birtherism a possible “winning issue”? ABC never actually explains. It points to no polling, for instance, that suggests the conspiracy theory resonates with voters or that it has boosted Trump's fortunes as he (supposedly) weighs a presidential run.

ABC News doesn't point to a single thing that suggests going around on TV and claiming Obama was't born here is a “winning issue.”
