It's well known and oft published what a foul liar the Donald is.
But Republicans care nothing for lies from their own and accept them always as the Gospel Truth. Even when faced with facts they double down on the lies. But let a Democrat utter some small untruth and they will pounce on it with a vengeance.

Actually, as Prince of Lies, Trump probably prefers lying whenever possible. And His followers don't care at all. They just swallow all the lies whole.
Maybe the Bible-Thumpers are right: This is the End Times and Trump is The Anti-Christ.

What should the media do when ANYONE lies... And the biggest joke of all: “The incentive for candidates [to lie] is that most media outlets don’t have the resources to check for accuracy immediately.” It's like saying NASA doesn't have sufficient fuel to boost a rocket into outer space, and yet it's actually true, today's US media DOESN'T have the resources to check for accuracy, their budgets operate on a shoestring, as if they are SEARS.

Well, you could just assume everything he says is a lie. You'd be right more than 50% of the time.

Trump is now losing momentum. I suspect he is on a downward slide to oblivion. I think the reason might be that he is simply boring his supporters as he seems to tend towards repetition and little else new but insults. His path downwards will, I hope, be as entertaining as his path to stardom and the presidency.

WaPo - Shocker: Trump supporter hijacks CNN airwaves
Not surprising considering the depravity of these campaigns, but Trump spokesperson, and Boston Herald columnist, "went there" in true Jerry Springer style. Good thing there weren't any folding chairs handy!
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

I see what you mean, jgw, he's dropping in the polls and has recently been surpassed by Cruz. but it's a strange time for this to happen.
Halfway through the primary season with a big lead. At the moment he's still the "presumed" republican nominee but that could change. Do you suppose all the negative press is finally having an effect? Maybe his date with irrelevancy is just coming much later than everyone expected it to. But I don't find this particularly comforting. Republicans who might sit out a Trump bid against Hillary will likely feel no such compunction with Cruz and those same polls show a much tighter margin between Cruz vs Clinton.

Just when you think the Republican candidates can't get any further from the actual issues that face the nation and what they aim to do about it, they get even further from the actual issues...etc.
I suspect this won't play well for Trump unless he can come up with definitive proof regarding Senator Cruz's infidelity.

"you're a serial adulterer with an ugly wife!" "Oh yeah, well you're a rat-f**er and had to get mail order brides from Europe because no American would sleep with you, you small pr***ed b***d." Yeah, that's a substitute for a televised debate...
