Does it really matter at this point? The point is to win, and so far Mr. Trump is doing just that.

Is truth an overarching value? Or do you mean to say that the end justifies the means, and that it’s OK for a candidate to say anything that will help him get votes, true or not?

More specifically, if Trump is blowing smoke when he hints and brags about possible self-financing, does it matter whether or not he’s misleading the voters?

I think it matters quite a lot. As far as I’m concerned, Trump’s truthfulness or lack thereof goes to the man’s fundamental character. You’re obviously free to have another view. So let’s agree to disagree.
