It's a fairly funny article and the graph really cracked me up. I think the thing is, and this really is the truth, Democrats are better liars than Republicans...who seem to be so shitty at it they constantly look ridiculous. Trump is obviously totally outrageous which I feel is intentional on his part. Hillary I think lies a lot but her main issue is as a candidate that even when she is telling the truth she seems like she is lying.

Bill Clinton may be one of the most wonderful liars to have ever lived and while I have never met or spent time with him the people I've met that have say he could talk you into giving him your wallet, pants, shirt, socks and underwear and have you walking out of the room totally naked and feeling great about it.

I can say, having met some television news reporters over the years and also print reporters, that I have been shocked to discover at times how amazingly empty headed many television news personalities are. The print reporters, at least the ones I've met, seemed much more on the ball and interesting to talk to. Whereas the TV guys often seemed outrageously clueless...which in some ways explained a lot.
