Big promises are to be expected from presidential candidates, but reality often intrudes.

The elder George Bush broke the “no new taxes” pledge that helped lead to his election.

Barack Obama’s administration has yet to live up to his prediction that his nomination would go down in history as the moment “when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.”

Central to Teflon Don Trump’s campaign, and to his national security strategy, is his intent to clamp down on illegal immigration, using a vast deportation “force” to relocate people to the other side of a wall, funded by Mexico, that would stretch nearly the length of the southern border.

Over 2000 miles.
Only a retard would see that as realistic.
 
You are about to read a newspaper article.

Do you care whether all the facts in it are true? If so — what could convince you that they are or are not?

A friend? A neutral website? Someone in authority?

If truth is passe — if we really do live in a “post-fact world” — then there isn’t any reason for liars to feel any shame, let alone worry about being “PolitiFacted.”

These may sound like philosophical questions, but in the campaigns of 2016, they are beginning to loom larger as a problem for democracy itself.

Exhibit A is Teflon Don Trump, who lies repeatedly and is fact-checked repeatedly, with no noticeable impact on either his own behavior or that of his supporters.

Just how gullible does Teflon Don Trump suppose the American voter is?

The billionaire showman has been the presumptive Republican presidential nominee for only a couple of weeks, yet his general election strategy is already becoming clear: hope for a mass nationwide outbreak of short-term memory loss.

His top strategist, Paul Manafort, has said that the “part that he’s been playing is now evolving.” But this isn’t evolution — it’s reincarnation.

That call Trump made “for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States”? Turns out that was “just a suggestion,” he now says.

The federal minimum wage increase, which he repeatedly opposed? Now he’s “looking at” an increase, he says.

The massive tax cut he proposed during the primary, which analysts said would add $10 trillion to the federal debt? Never mind! He’s hired experts to rewrite it in a way that cuts taxes less for the wealthy.

Those tax returns he promised “certainly” to release? Not going to happen, he says now.

One of his key surrogates, Rep. Chris Collins (R-N.Y.), now declares that he doesn’t expect Trump to build a border wall or deport 11 million illegal immigrants — the cornerstones of Trump’s primary campaign. The congressman told the Buffalo News that Trump would build a “virtual wall” and that his deportation plan was “rhetorical.”

Remember all those companies Trump blasted for sending jobs overseas? Ford was a “disgrace,” Disney had “outrageous” practices, Carrier deserved higher taxes, Apple should be boycotted because it didn’t help the FBI in a terrorism case, and Trump’s never eating an Oreo again because Nabisco outsourced. Financial disclosures this week showed Trump has invested in all of the above.

Trump, who said that “if you’re running for president, you shouldn’t be allowed to use a teleprompter,” has used that very device in at least two recent speeches.

Trump, who previously boasted that “I don’t have pollsters” because “I want to be me,” hired a pollster, Tony Fabrizio.

Trump, who campaigned against the Republican foreign policy establishment, has been hobnobbing with James Baker and Henry Kissinger.

Donald Trump's Biggest Policy Flip-Flops

Teflon Don Trump wears flip flops. His fanboys must be getting dizzy trying to explain his changing positions.
 
I believe a liberal leaning NYC wealthy huckster has duped the entire American republican party into nominating him.
It has been fascinating to watch them get sucked into his powers of persuasion.
I don't believe there is a sincere bone in his body.
