Factcheck.org: 14 Lies Last Night *Trump not financing 100%?

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/factchecking-the-cnbc-debates/ar-BBmz5qH?li=AAa0dzB&ocid=iehp

A couple:

Former CEO Carly Fiorina claimed that 92 percent of the job losses in President Obama’s first term belonged to women, but women — and men — gained jobs by the end of Obama’s first term.

Trump also claimed his campaign was 100 percent self-funded, but more than half of the money his campaign has raised came from supporters’ contributions.

Fiorina blamed the Affordable Care Act for a large disparity in firm closings versus openings every year. But closings outnumbered firm births by the widest margin in 2009, a year before the law was enacted.

Interesting to hear about which Mitt idiocy was recycled by Carly

Loved her faux outrage at HRC and Bernie when she was making her faux claims.

still interesting to hear her ex say ..don't believe her bullshit about rising from secretary to CEO. She took a secretarial job when she switched majors from law to business (disappointing her lawyer dad) just so we could make ends meet. She will do anything to get what she wants.

Actually think she should have stuck with law - she seems to have excellent recall of non-facts and would have made a great slimy lawyer.

say on Democracy Now! that Trump always creates his own reality and then actually believes it's true (which is what he apparently did last night when he vehemently denied saying something that's actually on his website).

Just like that quote attributed to Rove about creating reality, I find that deeply unsettling.

Isn't that a definition of insanity.

there's so much noise out there and no one source of truth that all people believe in - that you can say any bullshit and get away with it. Especially with repukes who don't read and only watch Fox.
