Of course you don't.
But this is what faces us in November. And asking this question is what the Dems MUST do to focus attention on Trump's big vulnerability. No one ever knows what is a lie and what isn't whenever he speaks. He has no credibility. Most of us know this, but...
The Dems so far have failed in pressing this message onto the voters. They aren't making gross dishonesty part of the discussion. And I don't know why. (Bloomberg's "Lie" TV ad is the exception. And he's gaining ground in the primary races.)
ANY Dem candidate can begin asking this question. Do we want a dishonest president? Do we want a president who lies all the time? Do we want a president who doesn't account for his conduct?
ANY Dem candidate can promise honesty and integrity in office. Any candidate can point to a record of honesty and truthfulness, and contrast that with 16,000 lies. The sooner we hear this kind of talk from Dem candidates, the sooner that Trump's approval numbers will start to tumble. Honesty counts. People value honesty and integrity. Run on honesty and truthfulness.

During the last election, I must have received 10 cardboard mailers per week with Rethug garbage headlines like HILLARY WANTS TO TAKE YOUR GUNS AWAY on them, and hardly any from the Dems. Even though I threw mine away, I thought they were very effective because when you collect your mail, that piece of shit header would hit you in the face. We need to do a big mailing campaign like that on Trumps lying.

I swear he gets up in the morning and tells 5 lies before breakfast just to keep in practice.
