Trump's Campaign Manager Offered Her Most Brilliant Defense Yet of Trump's Lies

How can it be a lie if you don't know which facts are true?

By Jack Holmes

Sep 26, 2016

We have entered post-reality politics. Donald Trump said last week that NBC's Lester Holt, the moderator for tonight's presidential debate, is a Democrat. The implication was that, like the rest of the liberal mainstream media, Holt would be biased against Trump and that's the only reason he could lose.

"By the way, Lester is a Democrat," Trump said in an interview with Bill O'Reilly. "It's a phony system. They are all Democrats. It's a very unfair system."

Almost immediately, various outlets looked into it and discovered Holt is actually a Republican.

But no matter. Trump's campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, joined MSNBC's Morning Joe today, and Mark Halperin asked her about Trump's issues with the truth—namely, that he doesn't seem bothered with telling it. Halperin brought up the Holt example, and Conway let loose one of the more extraordinary defenses of blatant lying there ever was.

To the low-information viewers (that I don't think bothered to watch) the PIAPS performed very well with her lies, deceptions, and distortions. Trump should have hammered her on many, many more topics.

Jim, I totally agree with your assessment. I was disappointed with Trump's performance. I think he blew several opportunities especially on the cyber security topic. He didn't win anyone who may have been on the fence, imo.

Being very olde, totally jaded, I listened to some Bach, then retired for the evening.

With political posturing since the 1930s, voting on the merits of a debate or personal tirade rarely happens. If anyone gets this close to the election and has not made up their mind, there is but one conclusion, there is a vacuum between their ears.

Remember, most of what we hear is untrue, much of what we see is unreal.

Cynicism at its best.
