<snip>
Politicians running for president are graded by Politfact and the order runs in the way you would expect it to if you find yourself annoyed when Donald Trump is speaking. Donald Trump, the Republican front-runner, is at the bottom of the list with a sad 9% of true or mostly true statements. Just 9% of the things Donald Trump says are mostly related to the truth.
Trump lies so much that in 2015, Politifact awarded him the Lie of the Year for numerous statements he made, because the team couldnt pick the most egregious lie. Out of 77 statements checked, 76 of them were found to be mostly false to false to pants on fire lies.

(5,737 posts)His followers do not care, and the rest should have made up their minds already. But do not be surprised if Trump tosses out something new that has been passed along to him by outside sources. Factual or not, it will likely happen.

She needs to ignore him as much as possible and get back to whatever the topic is that addresses issues in American voters' lives.
Edit- and even if she does "fact check" him on a handful of things he'll just spew another dozen lies.

(62,444 posts)Nobody wants to watch the candidates exchanging "You are a liar!" "No, YOU are a liar!" - Regardless of which one of them is factually correct, it's just a huge turn off.

(66,809 posts)The media would also paint it as a he said/she said disagreement, and they would offer up some misstatement by Clinton as proof that "both candidates have trouble with the truth."
Further, they'd spin it into the ongoing bullshit narrative that Clinton is "untrustworthy and dishonest."
It would be a much better strategy for her to advance her own position rather than dismantling his, which in an ideal world would be handled by journalists.
In an ideal world.

(22,235 posts)All of the insiders and armchair speculators have been saying that she was going to "let Trump be Trump" and then take him down at the third debate. If it's true, it's a sound strategy. He's going to feel the same way about her. No matter how effed up his campaign may be, Bannon and Ailes know that this is his last stand with the "undecideds." His base could give a rat's ass, they've stuck by him through every outrage. Clinton can take him down, and unless he has something brand new other than Bill and Monica and emails and Benghazi, which haven't inflicted the damage he's hoped for, he will be going down. The Wall Street transcripts made news, but they seem to have done no lasting damage, and he certainly did not get a bounce from their release. His base has kept him afloat. That's it.

He has the questions already and Ailes is coaching him on the responses. Watch for the prepared presidential Cheeto.

(45 posts)I don't know how you do that because she needs to tell what she's for and then keep up with all his falsehoods in a 2 minute response.

(18,124 posts)already know who they will vote for, does anyone think that's correct? Undecideds are a small fraction of the voting public, at this stage, I would hope.
