An Alarming Breakdown of How Dishonest Donald Trump and Ben Carson Really Are

Taking a look at each candidate’s scorecard on non-partisan fact-checking site Politifact paints a picture of two men who’ve built campaigns based almost entirely on fiction....

Of the 48 comments Politifact has investigated relating to Trump which haven’t been half true, only 10 percent (5 of 48) have been considered honest with 90 percent (43 of 48) being considered dishonest.

And it gets even worse when you look at Ben Carson’s file.

While he doesn’t have nearly the profile as Trump (because he hasn’t been a leading figure in politics long enough), of the 12 comments Politifact has investigated, absolutely none of them - zero percent – have fallen into either the True or Mostly True categories of honesty.

1. Hypothetically speaking, could they simply be too stupid to know any better?

2. And the Republican sheeple eat this crap up

Just like in the last debate, outright lying, said with conviction and anger, is what works.

God help us if the presidential debates next year follow the same pattern.

3. Making stuff up works

in our current system. I see it every day in the agency where I work as a temp and those who make sh*t up are the ones who get ahead. It also helps to be a total stab-in-the-back brown-noser.
