The left loves Hillary? So much that they dumped her in 2008, and are now dumping on her after 2016? Nah, I don't buy that at all.

Why shouldn't they? Your Trumpenfuhrer just dumped Dubya and Bush Senior.

It hit me this week, around the time when Sarah Huckabee Sanders was blithely seconding Chief of Staff John Kelly’s Civil War revisionism, that I missed Sean Spicer.

I missed the panic in his eyes, which signaled a scintilla of awareness that he was peddling hooey. I missed the squeak in his voice, which suggested perhaps the tiniest smidgen of shame.

He never seemed to me entirely at home in his domicile of deception; she dwells without evident compunction in a gaudier fairyland of grander fictions. There’s no panic. No squeak. Just that repulsed expression, as if a foul odor had wafted in and she knew — just knew — that the culprit was CNN...

For some 20 minutes every afternoon, down is up, paralysis is progress, enmity is harmony, stupid is smart, villain is victim, disgrace is honor, plutocracy is populism and Hillary Clinton colluded with Russia if anyone would summon the nerve to investigate her (because, you know, that never, ever happens). I watch and listen with sheer awe.

I will stand in for Bob. Hillary got 3 Millions more votes than your lord and master, so a quite a few from the left must have loved her.

PS: I think Hillary lost because of misogynists like me could not bring ourselves to vote for a woman.

Wow, I wish this post made any sense at all in relation to my post. No basis for comparison at all. But hey, nice try.

Has nothing to do with votes. In 2008, THE PARTY dumper her in favor of Barry. In 2016, she corrupted THE PARTY resulting in other potential candidates getting screwed, and now THE PARTY certainly looks like it's trying to throw her under the bus.

And yet, the press has always admired lying when it served the purpose of the leftist agenda. This piece from CNN - from 2013, and written in the wake of Obama's "if you like your plan you can keep it" whopper - explains why we need Presidents who lie:

http://www.cnn.com/2013/11/24/politi...lie/index.html

Candidate Clinton touted a significantly increased minimum wage. Yet, leaked emails showed her advisers worried about the impact on jobs. Dems love to tell us that increasing the minimum wage doesn't hurt the job market.

http://reason.com/blog/2016/10/11/le...al-that-even-d

Having Bill Clinton on the campaign trail didn't bother the Dems in 2016, serial liar that he is.

So, all of this media, and your, puffery about Trump's "lies" ring pretty hollow to me. Because, as CNN pointed out, we need Presidents who lie...

...at least when the Dems have the Oval Office.

I’m confused. CNN is your truth bearer standard now? Rush will disown you!

Obama told one lie (though he may have believed it to be largely true). For example, it's likely that neither you nor I have been compelled to change our plans or doctors (I certainly haven't).

Meanwhile, Trump averages over five lies a day. I think he's up to about 1,500 lies by now.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...over-263-days/
How many lies has he told about Obamacare (he claimed to have a plan that was better, covered more people and was cheaper. Whassup with that?)

You are such a tool.

Trump’s approval rating is far lower than any president in 7 decades of polling

So Sarah's perpetual lying on behalf of the MAGA dotard is just not working.
Is it the tactless lies that are falling on deaf ears,, or SFS is a terrible liar.
Probably both.
