The fundamental problem with obviously stupid polls such as the "Politifact Truth-o-meter" (an Oxymoron if I ever seen one), is that someone will push the summary (HILLARY IS THE MOST HONEST) to Facebook or worse Upworthy. After the summary is circulated a few time around the Internet, it will be taken as fact, even though the basis of that statement is pure garbage.

That's one of the reasons why Hillary is doing so well.

There's a strong pro establishment DNP bias.

It's kind of funny. Does Hillary really get credit for being truthful for something like this?

"African-Americans are more likely to be arrested by police and sentenced to longer prison terms for doing the same thing that whites do."

When Hillary supported the tougher sentencing laws?

Or is this really a lie?

"If it weren’t for me … (illegal immigration) wouldn’t even be a big subject."

Many people say that it is Trump that has made illegal immigration what it is. As a general statement it's hardly a lie.

Or this concerning Hillary.

"I waited until (the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement) had actually been negotiated" before deciding whether to endorse it.

They then note that she said.....Called the unfinished pact "the gold standard"

So how is that only a "half truth"? It's a lie. The ratings are worthless.

Agree. The really egregious lie on this is her verbal gymnastics on the Trans-Pacific Trade Agreement (TPP). Let me be blunt here. If she's so for keeping jobs in the U.S. and opposing trade agreements, why did she bother to start TPP in the first place? If she's so for the U.S. common worker, she never should have started it in the first place. Instead, she not only started negotiations, she was cheer leading TPP constantly until she left her position of Secretary of State (hmmm, maybe she had presidential aspirations in mind when leaving her post so soon?)
