What is it about politicians and fibs that can easily be shown false?
On the campaign trail in 2008 Senator Barack Obama told black audiences stories about his parents' involvement in the civil rights protests of 1960s that were not even remotely true. Over the years, Hillary Clinton has made preposterous claims about everything from being named after the conqueror of Mt Everest to having been under sniper fire in Bosnia.
We all know Trump constantly proclaims he is the greatest at just about everything. Add eyesight to the list.
"Because I had a view - I have a window in my apartment that specifically was aimed at the World Trade Center, because of the beauty of the whole downtown Manhattan. And I watched as people jumped and I watched the second plane come in. ... I saw the second plane come in and I said, "Wow that's unbelievable".'
Trump's apartment, in the penthouse of iconic Trump Tower in midtown Manhattan, is 4.1 miles away from where the twin towers once stood.
An object the size of a human body cannot be discerned by the human eye at that distance. Now maybe there is a telescope or pair of binoculars in Trump's penthouse. However, on that day Donald Trump was apparently not in the penthouse. At the time the Twin Towers were struck on the morning of September 11, 2001 Donald Trump was reported to be at a business meeting in downtown Chicago, Illinois, almost 800 miles from Manhattan.
On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, Adrian D. Smith, a well-known architect in the Chicago office of Skidmore Owings & Merrill, was in a meeting with Donald Trump. The hyperbolic New York City developer was in Chicago to go over the design of a proposed Trump residential tower ...

Somebody who’ll lie about 9/11 will lie about anything. Stealing any kind of valor doesn’t seem to be beneath him.
I refer to myself as a Trumpiteer. Trump is the only candidate who will get it done for the people.
“Go Trump, because naysayers need to be shut up.”
This is probably the most intelligent reason to support Trump that I have ever read.
I ain’t sleeping tonight. :-)
You trumpanzee so were a docil bunch until your Lord and savior went birther when he fell behind in a poll.
Yeah yeah yeah whatever.
Handsome feller. Guy acts like he owns the place... :)

I wonder if there is a news outfit who would have the knowledge and the guts to put on such a debate.
Yes, Jo. There was a cascade of evidence that begin to belie his pony show in the Senate, and it began to cascade for anyone watching his moves.
Eventually, you realize those pony tricks, each and everyone, accomplished nothing for the rubes, but turned out to be self serving advancement for Cruz, and that it was on our backs that the little toot was immediately already planning a run, from behind the scenes, to the front office. Power lust, in spades.
He is an obvious climber, and slick, if you’re a rube. It’s a turn off for everyone I know.
Sorry, I don't speak cruzer - even though it's so easy, a cruzman could do it... :)
It is possible that Trump is not lying. A serious health issue could account for Trump repeatedly misstating the facts.
Regardless, his confusion about reality is something to consider before casting a vote for president.
That is an interesting comment.
When I was a kid, we used to have a Flip Wilson doll that had a pullstring.
When you pulled the string, canned phrases came out. One day, the string broke.
Flip Wilson doll didn't say anything any more.
Do you have so many strings pulls per day for your canned phrases, or is it just until your arms get tired from typing?
Sorry about burning one of your canned phrases, jeff... :)
I don’t care how dumb your n00bi3 troll schtick is - what you said right there is funny.
Your candidate is a colossal failure and found out, and you are in a mood about it, to invoke blasphemy.
I really hope you can recover in time to make the Revolution. If not, we can maybe send over bicarbonate.
Cheer up, the GOP brotherhood may coalesce around the son of gun. They certainly are aware of his working both sides of the road, easy enough.
At least TRUMP is famous for it, admits it and is still willing to blow up the system, for our benefit, and to close the damn border post haste.
“I get embroidering your resume”
Too eager to accept the spell-checker recommendation?
A debate on substance not scripted would be very welcome. Also a debate between each of the top runners, one on one no scripts.
But the Constitution and it’s limits on Government power?
They will never do that.
What crap would that be? I googled the accusations and found them to be baseless or a long stretch at best.
You are correct, we owe Trump for clearly focusing the Media on that issue. However Cruz has the answer, enforcing the laws.
I want solutions, so I prefer Cruz. I don’t trust Trump, but we clearly owe him a debt for breaking the media stranglehold.
You can support who you want to. I have the right to support who I want to.
