Trump, and the most recent debate...

[santahog]

Okay, follow me here, please..
Trump implied, inferred, suggested, led the listener to believe, that he was in the presence of Vladimir Putin during an interview with 60 Minutes. Thing is, he was interviewed in NYC, and Putin in Russia. There was no Green Room or "Stable" present. They were never in the same place in conjunction with the show he suggested, for he and Putin to chat.
Can one excuse this and then suggest that Fiorina is full of it when she said that she "knows, has spoken with, in the same room with" Putin when she only met him in a "green room" of sorts, in China for some sort of event?
It suggests something more than hyperbole, but pathological, or delusional..
I've got to point this Trump thing out.. Sorry..

And you evidence surprise that politicians lie?

It is eminently more surprising when they tell the truth.

We have been led by so many prevaricators for such a long time that small forays into hyperbole during campaigns are more than just expected.  Well-crafted lies are an accepted practice.

It requires a discerning spirit to weed out non-consequential lies from those that really matter.

This is, was small potatoes. It's going to take someone with a hell of an imagination to top Hillary, "being under sniper fire" while getting off the plane in Bosnia. First off, who taught her how to run a zigzag pattern on the tarmac in a pants suit and heels, while carrying a cell phone and a day planner?

I wonder if Hillary watches the TV show Madam Secretary and fancies herself as that character?

Depends on the content of the discussions.
Santahog, that would be the same as some one taking you to task for saying you had talked with me, because we've never been in the same region. I'm not sure, but I think Trump has met face to face with Put in on other occasions.

Trump and Cruz are the only ones who oppose amnesty AND support gun rights so the rest might as well go home.

I should have added in my first post that I have met people in person who would be FAR  less acquainted with e and my thinking than Santahog who has never been in the same state with me let alone the same room.

Given that choice I have to go with Cruz.  Trump may have expanded other people's money into billions for himself while leaving a trail of failures and bankruptcies in his wake, but he is not a public leader.  Anybody who is so full of himself that he suggest he is the only reason people are watching, and that the media is raking in dollars because he is in the debates, does not have the right mind and heart for public service.
