Remember the good old days when politicians could lie without the nuisance of instant Internet fact-checking?
Well, it clearly doesn’t matter anyway, apparently. Just look to poll numbers.
If it did, Donald “Pants-on-fire” Trump would have about 2 percent of likely GOP voters’ support instead of 23 to 37 percent – depending on the day and the poll you read.
Just before Thanksgiving, Politico.com wrote, “Everybody knows that politicians lie and exaggerate. All you have to do is turn on your television. But Campaign 2016 might be teaching a corollary lesson to the trailing candidates for president. Perhaps they aren’t lying enough for their own political good.”
The truth – yes the truth – is that Politico just wasn’t listening carefully enough. All the GOP candidates were clearly already all in.
