One of the most amazing abilities Donald Trump has is being able to lie about his own record and get away with it.

Republican presidential contender Ted Cruz cross-examined 2016 rival Donald Trump on Thursday's GOP debate stage,
-snip-
"True or false: you said the government should pay for everyone's health care?" Cruz asked Trump.
"That's false," Trump flatly said.
"You've never said that?" Cruz asked, seemingly surprised by the denial.
"I said it worked in a couple countries," Trump quipped.
"But you never stood on this debate stage and said, 'It worked great in Canada and Scotland, we should do it here'?" Cruz pressed.
"No, I did not," Trump replied
The fact is, as Trump told CBS' Scott Pelley in a "60 Minutes" interview, while claiming he would repeal ObamaCare and replace it with - wait for it, government-paid universal health care:
Scott Pelley: Universal health care?
Donald Trump: I am going to take care of everybody. I don't care if it costs me votes or not. Everybody's going to be taken care of much better than they're taken care of now.
Scott Pelley: The uninsured person is going to be taken care of how?
Donald Trump: They're going to be taken care of. I would make a deal with existing hospitals to take care of people. And, you know what, if this is probably--
Scott Pelley: Make a deal? Who pays for it?
Donald Trump: --the government's gonna pay for it....

During the first GOP debate, moderator Bret Baier said to Donald Trump, "15 years ago, you called yourself a liberal on health care. You were for a single-payer system, a Canadian-style system."
"As far as single payer, it works in Canada," Trump replied. "It works incredibly well in Scotland...

Well maybe this might be a warning to lie a little less?
You’re wasting your breath, they don’t care. They’ll care when he’s elected and he stabs them in the back!!!
This Cruz fella you mention, wasn’t he once a Viable candidate?
Trump University cases will come to naught, because the obvious will be pointed out: PEOPLE BOUGHT THE SHEEP SKINS FOR THE FAME OF HIS NAME ON THEM.
They are the ones who wanted something for nothing.
If he gets elected and does everything you listed, I will joyfully say I was wrong.
There would be no Obamacare if it wasn’t for Cruz putting his buddy Roberts on the Supreme Court. Cruz can not be trusted to select the next Supreme Court justice. The good news is, over the next few weeks, Cruz will win somewhere between 0 and 1 state in the primaries.
And you will be mourning your Cruz who has turned into an utter liar.
Things should not be that way. Cruz asked for it. Jesus wept.
Trying to reason with a Trumpet is worse than with a liberal.
His own words!!!
Even BHO supporters don’t go that far
Do you really want me list all of the sins Trump has done?
How is Cruz lying here?
Because your idea of reasoning is lying.
He is lying by claiming that Trump said government would pay for all health care when HE DID NOT
Well, thank you, thank you very much! Yesterday we added two things: get the IRS off the backs of Christian Churches (as a firm promise with someone appointed to hold him accountable), and reform libel laws to remove “public figure” differences. I can hardly wait to see what Donald Trump adds today!
And you look really hypocritical with that tag.
Overcome evil with good?
Good lies?
Typical Trumpie...liar ‘liar that’s all you got!!You are delusional...Trunp is a con artist and you’re the mark!!!
And get ready for The Cruzaders to repost the same worn out hit pieces over and over. It’s the best they have and besides the three year Junior senator has very little experience.
