Latest Politifact percentages of "False" or "Pants on Fire" Statements among Statements evaluated:

Sanders 14%
Clinton 14%
Kasich 18%
Cruz 35%
TRUMP 60%

In other words: Trump is a lying sack of shit even by the standards of politicians.

And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

Yes I can see you saying that. Maybe one could look into it and see if there's a basis for saying there is some liberal bias or something. But, regardless, Trump is just beyond the pale. Either he's a liar of historic proportions even by the standards of politicians or he has absolutely NO idea as to what he's talking about. Either conclusion leads to the same place. There is no way anybody with any sense should be supporting this guy to become President of the United States.

He's openly full of shit and trolling the fuck out of the electorate (especially democrats) vs pretending to be sincere with principles like the rest.

He's merely a reflection of what your party has wrought. :nod:

So we're just glossing over the fact that Theodore Cruise sits there with a glaring 35% number?

Look at the other choice, John. That's the best the Party can put up for the office of President: a Canadian white supremacist that is such a weasel that even his peers are revolted by the mere sight of the unctuous little creep. That's what you want us to vote for, John. :ohno:

Of course, and I'm sure Politifact doesn't have a bias at all. :coffee:

Having the Hildabeast at only 14% means either one of two things:
1. Politifact is extremely biased.
or
2, Politifact isn't doing it's job.

Considering Politifact is bankrolled by the same people who bankroll The Intercept I'm willing to conclude there is no bias there whatsoever. :-|

That is an insane statement. Trump is factually wrong just about every time he states something as a fact. The only question is that of whether he is lying or just doesn't know what the hell is going on.

BTW today I looked at the Politifact Truth O Meter stuff and took a "median" rating for each candidate. Here is how it turned out in terms of the "median" rating from best to worst. A tie at the top.

Kasich: Mostly True
Sanders: Mostly True
Clinton: Half True
Cruz: Mostly False
Trump: False

And yes I know Politifact may be biased. It's biased anyway because it's not like random samples of statements of facts made by candidates.

But it's pretty obvious that Trump either lies a lot or doesn't know what the hell he's talking about. It's pretty much obvious that it's an embarrassment to both the Republican Party in particular and the United States in general that he's doing as well as he is. Not a real good reflection on the United States electorate. You do have to wonder if it's really wise to have representative government when it could result in the selection of somebody like Trump as President. It really bolsters the "people are too stupid to govern themselves" argument.

And if somebody wants to make an argument for why the unwashed masses shouldn't be allowed to choose their own leaders what is going on right now with Trump is a great Exhibit A.
