    She really should have. Trump had no shame lying about everything. You can’t counter that. After the election is over, you can point out the lies but by then it’s too late.

    There is no downside to lying because the mainstream press is fully right wing.

      Well, except the media will put a laser focus on any mistakes Democrats make, nevermind any brazen lying. They will fact check a Biden stutter, for example, or do endless exposes on Hillary’s emails.

      When a Republican does, well, just whatever they want, really, including incredible amounts of brazen lying, it’s just expected.

      The Democrats are expected to be as pure as the driven snow, otherwise it’s a steady drumbeat of criticism for them from the “liberal media” (and the batshit insanely RW media, too).

        Exactly. The mainstream press is right wing. They’re going to cover anything a Dem does that could be considered a lie. But it’s after the election.

        The new model has to be to win at all costs.
