I think you are on to something. There was some Politifact website slamming Trump for lying 78% of the time (or some such number), whereas St. Hildebeast only lied 51% of the time. Seems to me, there ain’t a whole lot of difference.
And you are right that Trump’s lies are so over the top, one can almost shrug it off as hyperbole, rather than the typical political machination of a calculating liar like Hillary.
Don’t get me wrong. I don’t like it in Trump, but I don’t see a whole lot of difference from the establishment types. I do worry, though, about Trump’s temperament, in that rather than addressing actual questions, his gut instinct is to personally attack the messenger. But if the choice is him or Hillary in the general, I will vote for DJT.
Louie Gohmert: Ted Cruz the Candidate ‘With the Most Integrity,’

Texas Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) cr96% explains why he’s endorsing Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)cr97%, telling Breitbart News Daily host Stephen K. Bannon Cruz consistently fought to stop amnesty during his freshman Senate term.
“Everything Ted did... was to slow down [Gang of Eight] and hopefully give us a chance to stop the bill that Rubio was now the face of. So that made it easier to endorse Ted. But, you know, Ted’s integrity — you may disagree with him, you may dislike him — but his integrity was his strength. When you’re in the political game, what you’ve got to do is continually attack their strength,†Gohmert said.
It’s been “hard†to watch GOP frontrunner Donald Trump continuously attack Cruz as a liar, Gohmert said, hinting that retired neurosurgeon Dr. Ben Carson also disappointed him when it came to honesty.
“Seeing Ted attacked, the guy with the most integrity in the presidential race, and that includes Ben Carson — I know Ben, I love his positions. He’s a fellow believer. But I also know different things behind the scenes that have gone on and that’s why I supported Ted.â€
