Sad that that is what it's come to. They lie so much we should not believe them. Like criminals. They are no different than criminals. If you lie once to a judge, that means you no longer have any credibility. If CNN can monitor audience reaction to questions they should be able to monitor the candidates truthiness.

Lie detectors for politicians. An idea whose time has come.
