I think you picked the wrong candidate if lies is the subject being discussed.

Some people still don't get that electability has nothing to do with a great number of voters being fed up with the Republican establishment and those who consider themselves to be political power-brokers.

Hillary is going to trounce Trump. You see that now, and you wish you had the good sense to support a more electable candidate when you still had the chance.
When Trump announced his intention to run for President, everyone brushed it off. 9 months later, people have resorted to doing everything they can to get him to drop out of the race.

My parents brought me up that way, ruined 10 years of my life. I still see so many make that mistake. One day we will return to teaching our youth that you will ultimately make so much more money following your passion than going for the big buck degree.

I watched Trump's speech in Fountain Hills on TV today. In addition to idiotic introductions by Jan Brewer and Joe Arpaio, Trump said absolutely nothing substantial. He has no idea how he's going to pull off any of the ridiculous claims he's made, he just yells about how he's going to make great deals (one at a time) and he'll make America great again. He's got nothing. He's a dangerous windbag and God help the world if this buffoon actually gets elected.

This is the scariest election I've seen in my lifetime. My faith in the intelligence of the American voter is severely shaken.

I'm no fan of Clinton, but I'm really afraid she's the only thing standing in the way of a crazy megalomaniacal fascist in the White House.

Donald Trump is a true American patriot with the cojones to stand up for what's right.
Parroting the lies you hear is not research.
I never had faith in the American voter.
Not one single Presidential candidate I've ever voted for has won, with the
lone exception of George Bush in 1988. It didn't take a couple years before
I spoke out against Desert Storm, so he did NOT earn my vote again.
Nothing since. Perot. Dole. Buchanan. Peroutka. Barr. Romney (gag).
This time I'm voting for Trump. Think it will break my 28 year drought ?
Please, before you criticize others, say something intelligent yourself.
Don't be a victim of Garbage-In, Garbage-Out.

I am neither parroting anything nor am I listening to lies. I'm basing my opinion of Trump solely on what I've heard him say.

He's going to build that ridiculous wall and even more ridiculously make another country pay for it? How?

He's going to take oil from other countries? How? Militarily?

He says we should kill terrorists' families? Really?

The list goes on. What I have not heard yet is any sort of plan as to how he's going to do this...or anything else.
