Well you must be a fanatic or an idiot or both as the media sites who track public comments by candidates and fact check them is that Hillary has lied or was factually wrong about 15% of the time and Trump has lied or was factually wrong about 85% of the time.
If you're going to make basic honesty an issue, Trump supporters are not only going to lose that one badly, you're mostly going to have people laugh their asses off at you cause it's about one of the dumbest things you can say.
One of the things that folks are really getting exasperated with the coverage of Trump is that he has told so many lies and he gets a pass on them by the media cause they just don't seem to know how to handle the brazenness on his lying that they seem to forget to fact check him and hold his feet to the fire. I suspect you will see more fact checking with Trump, particularly with the debates coming up.
That's probably why Trump doesn't want moderators for the debates. They can do him a lot of damage by fact checking him and they should fact check him to the same degree that they fact check his opponent. Trump sure as hell doesn't want that. That's ok though. Trump should be careful about what he asks for as he may get it. The Presidential debates have never really been debates but bilateral press conferences. I would love to see the moderator of the debates not ask any questions at all but have an actual debate where both candidates are allowed 5 minutes for an opening statement, 5 minutes for a closing statement and two hours to question each other with the moderators only function to stop anyone candidate from grandstanding or to point out when they have not answered a question. In other words a pretty standard debate format.
I'm reasonably sure that neither candidate really wants that to happen.

Ummm, you needed Obama to bail out your auto industry and you have billions in debt.
Right. He saw Muslims dancing on the roofs on 9/11. He actually could see people jumping out of the WTC on 9/11. Trump lies like most people breathe. Pathologically. I won't do your homework for you, but you can google "Trump lies" and the list is almost endless.
She had more on the ball than Trump did. She didn't let him get away with his typical bullshit and put him in his place. And he crawled off like a beaten dog. Priceless!
Are you offended? I can crank it up if you'd like. Good cussing is a lost art. Try it, you'll like it.
The important thing, however, is to call a spade a douchebag when it's appropriate. I find that it's appropriate on this forum whenever I see absurdities, distortions and lies. And that is exceptionally common with the right wingers in this forum.

Interesting you claim to be a former republican but never a conservative. So basically you were a squish republican? Good riddance

How do you say your state has no debt?
""The state's outstanding debt totaled $6.7 billion as of September 30, 2015. This was comprised of $1.7 billion in general obligation bonds, $4.9 billion in revenue dedicated bonds, and $32.4 million in commercial paper. Below is a five-year history of the state's outstanding debt:""

""Michigan has among the most debt per taxpayers in the nation, ranking ninth overall, according to the annual “Financial State of the States.” That’s actually a significant improvement from last year.""

Bro, Mott has spoke often that he used to be a Republican. Only you think not supporting Trump makes someone a former Republican.

I said nothing about California, I was talking about Ohio. and all states half to have balance budgets. It's stupid saying you have no debt.

Mott has not been a Republican since I joined in 2009......I have never seen him claim to be a former Republican......it is true I believe someone who has left the Republican Party, as you have, is a former Republican.......so does everyone else in the world.......own it.......
