I was watching the debate with several progressives. When they say he lies, they mean when he says stuff like "we had the best economy ever".
Obviously the economy in 2019 wasn't the "best ever", but it was a stellar economy compared to now. Trump's supporters take him seriously and not literally, while his detractors take him literally but not seriously.
This allows them to say the next day with their "fact checkers" that Trump lied a hundred times during the debate, even though these "lies" were just slight exaggerations.
He's mentioning this only because it's one major reason the Dems are insisting we must vote for Biden--and he's saying the Dems are telling one whopper (Biden is capable) that is worse than Trump's lies. OF COURSE he's not telling us anything new, and he's not intending to. He's saying the fact that Trump lies does not provide an adequate reason to vote for his opponent, who is incapable of doing the job.
“Donald Trump is a liar.”
Well, duh, so are all other politicians. That statement is like making the observation that NBA players are taller than average.
Is Eli Lake trying to earn the nickname “Captain Obvious”???
