The Hillary Clinton campaign held a special press call to call on the debate moderator, media, and voters to fact check Donald Trump. In order to help the press, debate moderators, and voters fact check Trump, the Clinton campaign has released 19 pages of Trump lies.

HFA Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri said, “Donald Trump has shown a clear pattern of repeating provably false lies hoping that nobody will correct him. As we head into this debate, we want voters and viewers to be on alert that they should keep track. Any candidate that tells this many lies, clearly can’t win the debate on the merits.”

In total there are 19 pages of fact checked Trump lies that can be read here.

1. "drooped"?

[Yonnie3]

2. It's just a typo. It should have read tRump drooped when Hillary dropped the truth n/t

[lastlib]

3. Fixed.

Better?

(Sorry, I have bigger fingers than Little Donny......... )

[keithbvadu2]

11. Be careful to not say that near Little Marco.

[3catwoman3]

14. Bigger fingers!

[klook]

19. "I assure you, there is no problem." (nt)

[Bernardo de La Paz]

21. Thanks. Proofreading is a habit I encourage :) Thanks for the OP. . . . . .nt

[Wednesdays]

29. Well, if it's "drooped"

it's a much worse problem for tRump than we thought. And his size won't fix it.

[MADem]

20. Bill Maher said engaging Trump was like being in a debate with a basset hound.

They're kinda droopy.

So....there ya go.

[Chemisse]

4. Good job.

He could win the debate with a string of lies. The truth would come later, as an afterthought.

This way it is forefront on everyone's minds.

5. Head Of Presidential Debates Commission Repeats Trump's View That Moderators Should Not Fact-Check

BRIAN STELTER (HOST): What about the issue of fact-checking that's been talked about so much in the past few weeks? Does the commission want Lester Holt to fact-check?

JANET BROWN: The commission asks independent, smart journalists to be the moderators, and we let them decide how they're going to do this. But I have to say, in our history, the moderators have found it appropriate to let the candidates be the ones that talk about the accuracy or the fairness of what the other candidate or candidates might have said. I think, personally, if you start getting into fact-checking, I'm not sure, what is a big fact, what's a little fact, and if you and I have different sources of information, does your source about the unemployment rate agree with my source? I don't think it's a good idea to get the moderator into essentially serving as the Encyclopedia Britannica, and I think it's better for that person to facilitate and to depend on the candidates to basically correct each other as they see fit.

Seems to me that the whole point of the debate is to give voters real information instead of a glorified campaign ad.
If a candidate is lying that's essential information that voters need know.

[NBachers]

7. Sheesh- a whole toilet - clog of equivocation there, isn't it?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

22. The problem is tRump's Gish Gallop, unprecedented at the Presidential level of debates.

He thinks he can fluster Hillary by a rapid fire stream of lies and gross exaggerations.

There will be no time for Hillary to fact-check more than a handful during the debate, and even then he might try to turn it into a spectacle by interrupting her correction with a couple more lies.

He's going to ignore some rules and depend on many voters not doing any followup, depend on them taking their impressions from the debate itself ("He's a strong man, he'll fix things&quot .

[Kablooie]

23. I'll bet he'll be continuously calling her points lies.

If he constantly accuses her of lying on every point she'll have to play defense all during the debate.

It's going to be painful on many levels.
I don't expect a great triumph for Hillary because he's going to confuse the issues so much that no one will know what's real or not.

25. "If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance..."

"baffle 'em with bullshit....." That's Little Donny.

[Roy Rolling]

6. How original

There are so many factual corrections, it's like those fast-scrolling corrections on SNL's version of "Fox & Friends".

But seriously, this is the first time the Trump strategy of overwhelming people with too much bullshit to keep up with, has been met with so many corrections it is too much to read in one sitting. It's more corrections than what Trump can spew in one show.

Well played, Ms. Clinton, well played.

8. To The Greatest---with Ther and With Hilary!

PERFECT answer to voter ignorance, apathy, and media's refusal to do their job.

Brilliant move

[anamandujano]

9. Beautiful! She will be able to fact check him easily during the debates.

It is concise and easy to understand. She will most likely make some TV ads to invalidate his lies also.

[Hekate]

10. KnR!

[keithbvadu2]

12. If Trump planned to tell the truth, he would not be worried about fact checking.

[3catwoman3]

15. Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!

Bingo. Game-set-match. Final whistle.

[bettyellen]

13. Now she can just refer to a page number from her document! So she doesn't get bogged down.

"I pre-debunked that on page eighteen" LOL

[fierywoman]

16. and with 100 million listeners ready to google ...

... won't this be fun ?!?

[bettyellen]

18. I think she must slip in a mention of the document and I love it

[NanceGreggs]

24. Hillary swings like a girl ...

... and, like a girl, knocks it out of the ballpark every time.

[lastlib]

26. I do love that lady!!

[liberal N proud]

27. The media is mostly ignoring it

[bucolic_frolic]

28. She ought to be able to get under Trump's skin

if she ties him to Putin a few times

Then he must defend himself by defending Putin

How popular will that be in America?

[electron_blue]

30. somebody should quickly turn this into a Bingo card!!!

[NewJeffCT]

31. It won't matter

if nobody covers the information in the 19 page document, or if Lester Holt doesn't bother to read it.

[Generic Other]

32. Liar BINGO

One point for every lie on the list that he repeats. LOL.

[Coyotl]

33. The lies are spawning new hashtags: #TrumpCheck #TrumpLies #TrumpSoftballs

John Nichols @NicholsUprising
When primary message of a candidate's surrogates on the day before a debate is that they oppose fact checking, that candidate is a hot mess.
5:13 PM - 25 Sep 2016

It has gotten so very sad for Donald on the fact front, he merits a new hashtag #TrumpCheck.
