Its a lie, just like when Trump states a 'false fact' its a lie. One does not condone the other. Trump's speech was full of lies but because he managed to follow the script and use full sentences people are thinking it was better than it was - he set the bar low to begin with so that now he seems so much better.

So exm, are you going to answer about Trump's lies last night?

That's a consistent point of view. However, I never heard people screaming that "Obama was lying".

We aren't asking you to scream. If I saw one of Obama's lies uncovered in fact check, and I evaluated it, I believed it and shook my head. I don't have be 100% enthralled with my candidate and I can admit their wrongdoings are criticize them. I don't have scream. But I'm not afraid to discuss it. How about you? You really don't need to answer now, though. Your lack of response is a response. You believe the lies or, if you don't, you won't EVER EVER admit it because there is some need to project that the man is 100% perfect.

This is just mystifying to me. It's almost like the Democrats WANT to keep losing. Oh well, fine with me.
Schumer is an a** but the people here keep electing him because they follow party lines.

No one man or women is perfect. And government is run by government hence why we want smaller government.

Oh good, so you weren't one of the Trump supporters who believed his 16 or so misstatements. You're just being quiet about it.
