What happens when a political party lies all the time..??

This is this morning's lie..by the Republican leader:...8:30am

"I’m very concerned that Russia will be fighting very hard to have an impact on the upcoming Election. Based on the fact that no President has been tougher on Russia than me, they will be pushing very hard for the Democrats. They definitely don’t want Trump! ".....

That is a lie..ok, we all know it. But what happens when a political party leader...is a confirmed liar?? Let's look at some history:

Look at 2 dates only...A)...November 1976...."I am not a crook"..election of Jimmy Carter
.............................. B)...November 2008...."They have weapons of mass destruction"............
.............................................................election of Barack Obama...

This president lies all the time, not part of the time. Look at todays lie at 8:30am. (see above)

Now, there is a reaction to all those lies..Look at A) and B)...and will have a C).... takeover of the House and Senate in November of 2018 by the Democratic Party.....that is what is going to happen!!!!

Why?...there is an truth here that is just so obvious. "Lies all the time don't work." Trump lies all the time, and the support of Trump by the Republican Party is in itself a lie..Come on, not all Republicans support Trump, but the party leaders do. And the Republican leaders try to make others believe the support is everywhere in the party.

I wonder if when he wears a different tie if he's sending a covert message to his handlers in Moscow.
