Keep waiting. Whether or not a lie has the intended impact is independent of the act of lying itself.
You are full of thanksgiving Stuffing... The Man Child Donald Trump accused Cruz during several debates on national TV of and I quote "stealing Ben Carson's Votes". So you run along and find me those voters who had their votes stolen by Cruz's staffs actions. Based on Legal filings and settlements we already know trump is a habitual Liar.
How about you?
Donald said some pretty twisted sexual things about him and his daughter. Because the act actually didn't take place can we use the same line of reasoning about Donald as you are above to Cruz?
How can it be a lie if the statement was true?
