Point blank lying: The hot new political strategy of 2016. If you keep a straight face and make big lies with confidence, so long as people like you it becomes the truth for you and half of everyone.

Go ahead and poll Americans right now. 50% will say Trump never hired undocumented workers to build his hotel. Fox News will say it. All the conservative radio stations will say it. It'll become self referencing and every bit as real as trickle down economics and clean coal. The opposite will be true for the other half.

Heck, I was ready to believe it. But in all honesty, it works for anybody. Trump could be telling the truth for all we know, and Hillary could be telling the big lie. There's no way of really telling, only the personal choice that we believe it or not.

The truth is simply not respected anymore. We can just lie outright about anything and get away with it if we have enough of a powerbase to make it real.

Best to ignore everything these two say from now on. It's not like the voters will come out winners after the election.
