This is just too good. So, Trump doesn't lie when he's ignorant of a fact and claims to know something that's not true. I guess this explains both why the rightwing is so dependent on lying and why Trump is so beloved by them. It's not lying if you just keep saying things that are wrong because you don't know what the truth is. This is brilliant.

It must also explain why these mopes are so keen on accusing the left of lying when it's not. Since the rightwing doesn't know the facts and does everything it can to maintain that ignorance then everything said in support of the those facts has to be a lie in their minds.

And I just have to wonder how Kellyanne Conway can keep a straight face when she's forced to go out and defend the Bloated Tangerine of a boss she has. I think she might have once had a bit of self-respect and decent reputation so she must be getting a huge pile of cash (assuming she got it up front, of course, otherwise she'll never see a penny) from him to go out and humiliate herself like this over and over. Here's the turd she tried so hard to buff up:
I don’t know that he knew what Lester Holt’s voter registration was," Conway said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" when asked about Trump's claim.

Your attitude, and others who share the same complete disrespect for the Republican nominee, are EXACTLY what's needed to get out the Trump vote.

Keep up the good work.

And Trump's lying and general disrespect for everyone else but him is what's going mobilize millions of new voters for dems all up and down the ticket.

Yeah, that's sure coming thru loud and clear in the polls, isn't it?

And the voting has already started, these morons(the elite) are still just as ignorant at the end of the game as they were when they started. What they should have done is listen to the people, admit their sins, and promise to do better work in the future.

Instead what we got were hysterics and insults and the showing of thumbs in their ears.

The Rebellion thanks them for proving our point.

Besides Trump being an agent of change, in a time when an agent of change is needed, there isn't a lot for some of us to respect.

You may feel differently, but you can't project your perception upon those that perceive differently. It's a 50-50 race for a reason: Half of us aren't buying what Trump is selling.

You would see things in a better light if you knew what Hillary is selling. Then you would realize, it really doesn't matter what Trump is selling.

A 50/50 race against Trump proves how weak the case of the elite is. This should have never happened, the fact that we are where we are as of this day proves that the elite failed and until they act like they understand that The Rebellion will continue to grow.

He is selling an overthrow of the DC ELITE.

People are increasingly buying.

Well, no, that's just garden variety dishonesty.

The GOP spent years, tens of millions of dollars, and seven investigations into Benghazi all in an admitted political witch hunt. They uncovered evidence that Clinton was no worse than the last FIVE SoS's when it came to confidential info treatment, and stated that it never charged anyone in those circumstances.

Nonetheless, the meme was set well in advance of the election: Hillary is a liar criminal who should be in jail.

Then the primaries happened and the GOP ended up with someone a hell of a lot more corrupt and who is a much bigger liar. A man who claims to be a great businessman, but whom in fact has constantly relied on political elbow-rubbing to obtain huge tax breaks for his projects at our expense AND is probably responsible for more bankrupt enterprises than anyone else in the country. Everything around him goes bankrupt.



So they HAVE to keep "accusing the left of lying." It's a necessary psychological defense mechanism to deal with the fact that they spent several years setting up an arsenal of character assassinations to throw at the presumptive (and now, in fact) Democratic nominee for 2016, and then selected for their own candidate someone who is worse than Hillary on every metric used to criticize Hillary.

My dislike of Trump doesn't translate to a like of Hillary, but your point is fair enough.

UGH. Why do you Trump supporters believe him when he says that?


He IS an "elite." He has spent his entire career getting cozy with politicians and then using that to obtain favorable tax breaks others didn't get (nevermind that most of his businesses ended up failing anyway). He is the exact thing he claims to be against. His entire image is based around wealth (and, necessarily, the political power that has always bought). He's even got gold ****ing toilets on the jet.

How on Earth could anyone possibly believe him when he stands up and claims that he's not an elite, he's actually here to fight elites?

A centrist Democratic platform that will change as the polls do over the years, with the typical dose of lies that come with a politician?

He had 4 companies go bankrupt. Odd that you would care about that given that Obama has America at the verge of bankruptcy. In fact Dem0ocrats don't even create a budget any more they just vote to raise the debt limit every time they run out of other people's money. To be fair I don't see Trump fixing this either. We should be raising taxes and cutting spending until the debt and deficits get under control.

A liberal globalist platform that will weaken our country, our rights and freedoms for the "greater good" no thanks.

Oh, by all means, put all your trust in the polls 6 weeks away from an election. That's why we have President Romney in office now.

Conway gets to paid to lie. She worked on the Cruz campaign before Trump hired her....so it's just another job to her.

We don't here is the difference, Trump admits it, Hillary lies about it. If you seriously think $300Million corrupt liar Hillary cares about the little guy, you are a fool.

Saying the right things alone is enough to get the job these days, because the competition is so weak....it was enough to get Obama the chair and it is enough to put Trumps over sized ass in it.

Anyone who has a problem with this should go out and convince better people to run.

Of all the fakery Trump has managed to get away with, the idea among his blind/deaf supporters that he's not part of the elite in this country takes the cake. It is a total and massive suspension of disbelief on the part of these poor mopes to trust this guy to do a thing for them. This is what make science fiction and horror movies so popular but it's now part of the permanent mind-set of repubilcan voters.

Now, now maggie don't go pulling a Trump on us by making statements like that. I wouldn't begin to use the fact that Clinton continues to be ahead in 9 out of 10 national polls and in all of the so-called "battle ground" states as an indicator that she's a lock for the election.

I realize that. But she's starting to show the wear and tear. I'm not sure she understood just how constant and heavy the strain of defending lie after lie could be not to mention that the media has decided not to play dead on those lies.
