A Week of Trump’s Lies

A Week of Trump’s Lies

"SNIP.............



Washington Post: “An examination by the Washington Post of one week of Trump’s speeches, tweets and interviews show a candidate who not only continues to rely heavily on thinly sourced or entirely unsubstantiated claims but also uses them to paint a strikingly bleak portrait of an impoverished America, overrun by illegal immigrants, criminals and terrorists — all designed to set up his theme that he is specially suited to ‘make America great again.'”

New York Times: “The New York Times closely tracked Mr. Trump’s public statements from Sept. 15-21, and assembled a list of his 31 biggest whoppers, many of them uttered repeatedly. This total excludes dozens more: Untruths that appeared to be mere hyperbole or humor, or delivered purely for effect, or what could generously be called rounding errors.”

Nate Silver 538 has Hillary down a bit. I know...I know...it's the long-term ground game, but WTF??? With all this crazy stuff going down with Trump, why aren't the polls reflective of this? I honestly don't get it. Trump can do whatever the hell he wants and seemingly get away with it.
