Why Trump gets away with huge lies and Clinton gets trashed for little fibs
CNBC ^ | 9/20/2016 | Jake Novak

Posted on 09/20/2016 3:22:36 PM PDT by GilGil

If you want to mess with a Hillary Clinton supporter's blood pressure, just ask why the media and voters are holding Clinton to a higher standard than Donald Trump when it comes to telling the truth. If you do raise the subject, be prepared for faces to get red, neck veins to bulge and obscenities and conspiracy theories to soon follow. It seems almost crazy to say it, but even as the bulk of the news and entertainment media routinely compare Trump to Adolf Hitler or seem otherwise dead set against his candidacy, the voters continue to show that they're simply not willing to disqualify him based on his history of false statements and contradictions.

If CNBC writer is whining about how trump is getting away with “Lies” in the media, maybe they better talk to their bosses about it rather than whining in an article....

Oh wait their bosses are staunchly pro Hillary...

I heard Bill Maher interview Kelly Conway....he brought up trumps “lies”....all of them were simply statements lifted out of context, given a liberal spin and presented as “lies”. That’s why only brain dead lefties fall for brain dead lefties rhetoric.

Media Narrative:

Billary has committed quid pro quo stealing billions from impoverished Haitians, and selling 20% of the US supply of uranium to Russia.

Better check Trumps tax returns!!

Hillary passed out.

We need to see Trumps medical records!!!!

Perfect summary.

Did Trump sign NDA's for both classified information and sensitive compartment information, then proceed to violate it?

Did Trump claim he didn't remember signing said NDA's?

When Trump does those things, then you can say that Hillary's lies were "little things".

Otherwise, just STFU. Your excuses are wearing thin, and no one outside your echo chamber is buying them.

You just don't get it: the main reason Trump is doing so well is because you are throwing everything but the kitchen sink, desperately hoping something will stick.

You're putting your thumb, your hand, and your entire body weight on the scale, hoping to tilt the scale in favor of your chosen candidate. Do you really think people don't notice?

It is all about expectations. Trump doesn’t claim to be perfect, he claims he is a promoter. We expect promoters to make exaggerated claims. Hillary holds herself as a savior. We do not expect saviors to be deceitful.

Trump has a tendency to use hyperbola, Clinton can’t stop lying about anything and everything.
_______________

The author catches Trump’s hyperbole, but completely misses Hillary’s massive lies that affect American safety directly.

His problem is that he sees lies about classified emails and selling influence as “fibs”.

The insane uber liberal will tell any lie, believe any lie, propagate any lie - to put sick Hillary into office.

It’s a National Security issue having that sick woman even running.

And no, we don’t want Timmy Kaine for President, either.

So title claims that Trump gets away with huge lies, but first paragraph admits: " It seems almost crazy to say it, but even as the bulk of the news and entertainment media routinely compare Trump to Adolf Hitler or seem otherwise dead set against his candidacy, . . !

There is a disconnect with this writer. His real lament is that the bulk of the entertainment news and entertainment media relentlessly slandering Trump has not had the desired effect.

To this I say: Go pound sand!

Do you realize that if Hillary won and then could not continue as president, Tim Kaine would become president and Paul Ryan would be vice president. Imagine that mess.

Drugs and mental illness are the only things that explain this pile of crap.

Fibs? “It was a video”, “no classified email”, “rape victims should be heard”, “I was overheated”, etc.?

This must be a parody.

About 6 months ago I offered to pay $100 for anyone who could document a recent Hillary Clinton statement where she actually could be proven to have told the truth

Have not paid out a dime
