“Not because he is the most palatable choice, or because we love his moral character or because the man never lies”
He’s the most palatable choice by far, I love his moral character, and—once again—what lies?
If you’re going to accuse him of lying, substantiate it.
When a family member told me, "But he lies!" ... I responded with ....
Of course, Trump lies all the time. He'll get up in front of a crowd and say, "Wow, this is the best audience I've ever spoken to, and this is the most delicious food I've ever eaten, and my hosts tonight have done the most fabulous job ever, and my nominee here is the single most qualified person for this job in the history of the Universe!"
And liberal heads across America explode and they cry out:
"OMG!! That's 4 lies in one sentence! Is that a record?"
"No, the record is 13".
"Ok, but quickly - bring up the Trump Lies Wikipage and add these 4 to it....... Let's see, what's the new total? 78,438 lies! [wail of anguish] How many more of these do we have to log before his base will desert him?!??"
And we Trump fans grin and say, "We couldn't care less! But keep counting. Who knows, maybe 78,439's a charm?"
