And say things as they really are

Re: Trump Demagoguing/Lying Again
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.Appears to be a Republican trait.

Re: Trump Demagoguing/Lying Again
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.JohnStOnge wrote: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.

Of course, and I'm sure Politifact doesn't have a bias at all.houndawg wrote:Appears to be a Republican trait.JohnStOnge wrote:Latest Politifact percentages of "False" or "Pants on Fire" Statements among Statements evaluated:

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.

Re: Trump Demagoguing/Lying Again
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.Cruz makes Trump look like a choir boy.

Re: Trump Demagoguing/Lying Again
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.
