Question: In an election, is it easier to fight against facts or falsehoods?

[Skwmom]

Myself, I would say the latter.

To fight against the facts you have to have people that have no problem doing so.

And except for political operatives, most people just aren't wired that way.

1. What I don't get is how all this stuff you all make up magically turns into facts.

My guess is if you repeat a lie often enough people start to believe it and those who are too lazy to reasearch things for themselves just accept it as fact and pass it on.

The most amazing thing I see this year is that Berne folks, who are too young to have been there, think that Hillary is guilty of all the charges in all the scandals the right has dreamed up to use against her.

So Bernie takes advantage of that naïveté knowing full well it is bull shit.

Bernie knows Hillary having served with her in Congress and in his having been in Congress when she was SOS. He was aware of her efforts to get health coverage for all in the 90's.

But he insinuates she is someone other than he knows her to be.

That is the chief way his is dishonest. He wasn't going to go negative because to tell the truth about Hillary is say she stands for mostly all the things he stands for.

But Bernie realizes he can't win the nomination on his message alone. It will not give him a big enough base of voters. Even though the right is helping him out he still cannot catch up to Hillaty's delegate count. So now he thinks he can steal super delegates.

So lies will not help your candidate.
