Mike Pence: Donald Trump will “speak the truth” during Monday’s debate [View all]
Source: CBS News
With the first presidential debate just one day away, Republican vice presidential candidate Mike Pence says his running mate, GOP nominee Donald Trump, will “absolutely” tell the truth when he’s up on the debate stage.
Pence said on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” that he was confident of his running mate’s ability to adhere to the facts when asked whether his candidate will be “truthful” Monday night.
Trump has repeatedly made statements on the campaign trail that have proven to be false, including during the one other primetime event at which both Trump and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton appeared: a Commander-in-Chief forum on national security issues in early September. That night, Trump said he was against the Iraq War from the beginning; in reality, his criticism of the war appeared to start in 2004, a year after the war began.
Asked by moderator John Dickerson the first time whether Trump will be “truthful” in his statements during the debate, Pence replied: “I think Donald Trump always speaks straight from his mind and straight from his heart.”

Pence also stated that the moderators should not fact check the candidates.
SO.... if it's even an issue whether Don-the-Con will lie... AND if his running mate even needs to talk about it.... AND given Don-the-Con's propensity to lie....AND with his campaign not wanting to be fact-checked..... WE CAN BE ASSURED THAT DON-THE-CON WILL BE LYING OUT OF HIS ASS.
