70. Trump has not been "honest" about anything. He lies as he breathes.

Mon May 9, 2016, 07:11 PM

May 2016

As for Hillary being "shady" because of "scandals" invented by the RW without a shred of evidence, do you know the old tactic about asking someone to deny a lie about them?

Political opponent: "So, Congressman Brown, when did you stop beating your wife?"

Brown, appalled: "I've never beaten my wife!!" (And he has not.)

Newspaper headline: "Brown denies being wife beater. Investigation continues."

Internet poll: "Do you think a wife beater should be re-elected?"

Public reactions (many venues): "Brown is scum. Why would his wife even stay with him? Is she afraid to leave?"

News reporter: "Congressman Brown, how are you and Mrs. Brown dealing with the news that you are an abusive spouse?"

And the cycle continues. The more he denies the lie, the wider it spreads.
