The Era of the Big Lie

For me, the most amazing thing about this campaign is that Trump has been able to paint Hillary as a liar and the news media has allowed him to get away with it. In any rational world Trump would have been called out so repeatedly for his lies that he wouldn't be able to carry even the reddest state. Trump doesn't have even a passing acquaintance with the truth. He can tweet something at night and deny it in the morning. And 40+ percent of my fellow citizens are going to vote for him. This is both astonishing and depressing.
