After Citizens United the truth is irrelevant in political campaigns

After being besieged by an avalanche of lies in Rethug commercials I am convinced that truth in campaign ads is a thing of the past. The mega donors and their PACs, like the faux president, create their own reality. Lie about the opponent's record and character while denying that you voted directly opposite of your campaign promises is standard Rethug fare.
