American politics

Although it's a double-standard, I don't think Trump's lies will harm him in the way Clinton's harm her. He is seen as a bullsh1t artist, it's expected of him so there's no impact in catching him in a lie. Clinton is supposed to be the safe pair of hands, she can't be caught lying, because it will make her voters more apathetic towards her; even if they don't vote for Trump, they might be more inclined to stay at home. Trump's voters have already decided they don't care if he lies about stuff, so it won't affect his numbers in the same way imo.

Just on a human level, if someone is portrayed as sickly and looking to cover it up, that could sway some swing voters too.

Trumps ratings would leap if he shot on stage at one of his gatherings a black, hispanic, gay and someone even wearing a loud colourful shirt.
 
If anyone is ever face to face with Donald Trump and given the opportunity to ask him questions, here are a few things they should ask about:

—How can you claim to have ended the birther movement in 2011 when you continued to tweet about President Obama’s birth certificate being forged in 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015?

—If you now believe President Obama was born in the United States, what changed your mind? What happened to your “reliable sources” that told you the birth certificate was fake?

—Would you remove yourself from your over 500 businesses with ties overseas if you’re elected president to prevent a massive conflict of interest?

—You say you won’t release your tax returns because you’re being audited. Are you going to release any proof that you’re even being audited?

—You’ve advocated assassinating terrorist’s families. Are you aware that’s a war crime?

—There are some people in this nation who are abjectly racist, or sexist. Not to say they’re half of your supporters, but you’ve called POOR people “losers.” Wouldn’t you call racists deplorable?

—How do you “humanely” round up and deport 11 million human beings in the United States? Do you just leave their children (legal American citizens under the 14th amendment) wondering where their parents have gone?

—You and your father were both investigated by the Department of Justice for refusing to rent to black people. How would you respond to those concerned by that?

—You’ve implied that rape is just “what to expect” for men and women in the military together. So what is your proposed solution?

—You’ve claimed to have hundreds of friends die in 9/11 and yet you didn’t attend a single funeral. How could you lie about a thing like that?

—You said, “It doesn’t really matter what [the media] write as long as you’ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass.” Do you still believe that?

—You spent $20,000 of your foundation’s money on a 6 ft. portrait of yourself. How is that a charitable contribution?

—See above, re: signed Tim Tebow helmet.

—See above, re: $25,000 campaign donation to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi who then decided not to investigate Trump University for fraud.

—You’ve repeatedly discussed how you’d date your daughter (if she weren’t your daughter. I don’t really have a question here, but gross, right?

No doubt these bombings in New York will help Trump. If he does well in the debates, I think he'll win the election.
 
The good thing is if Trump wins it will be Kama because his followers deserve him.

Could be slightly worrying for the rest of humanity but hey! let's look on the bright side it won't be dull

But there is no need - we all know he has the "best answers"
 
As I've said previously we live in a post truth society. Even more worrying, is that we also live in a post science society.
I'm more concerned about the fact that we love in a society where people like to prepend words with "post" to make their opinions seem more valid or clever ;)
 
I have a feeling that plenty of Trump supporters know that he lies, but they don't care. It's not "post truth" it's "past caring." I have some sympathy with that feeling to be honest.
