    Do you think any other candidate would answer differently? Have other candidates talked about all the times they lied? :confused:

    Have they been asked?

    I believe they've all lied, but I believe Bernie has been most consistent through out his career on the issues and is most honest out of the bunch and conversely I think Hillary is probably the worst, saying or doing anything she needs to depending on the audience and her needs at the time.

    Yes. For the last week, all the major GOP candidates have been accusing each of being horrible liars. None has admitted to lying when directly confronted by the others.

    Again to call someone a pathological liar requires a pretty long list of lies and deceit. I have yet to find such a detailed list.

    And I dont mean to come off as accusing or rude, just for my sake, I'd like to know what these lies are. I personally am fine with Hillary and Bernie but right now I dont like the accusations thrown at Hillary because I've yet to find any real substance to any of them.

    Off the top of my head, I believe she lied about Bengazi, she lied about being under sniper fire, she lied about her personal email server, she lied about being broke when Bill left office, She lied about trading futures way back in the past. she's lied about just about everything.

    Trying to find anything from an unbiased source is hard but here's more from a source that is unbiased as you can find on the net:

    http://www.politifact.com/personalities/hillary-clinton/statements/byruling/false/

    I think she's a habitual liar and not a very good one at that.

    I disagree.

    Hilary will have trouble with Trump.

    GOP plays dirty.

    That's nothing new, Trump voters are absolute scumbags.

    I disagree. A LOT of people will vote Hillary simply because of Trump, in fact, I'll be one of them. Trump is the worst possible thing that could happen to this country.

    Have you considered that Sander's hasn't been in so many positions of power where he may have had to lie or at least hide the truth? For someone who's been in Congress for so long he hasn't had that many leadership positions and not been chair of any major committee.

    The Clintons don't have a reputation of playing nice either. Even though Sanders supporters complain about Clinton tactics I don't think this will be anything like what she might do in the general against a Republican. She knows she needs Sanders supporters down the road so hasn't gone against Sanders too hard. I doubt she will feel that way against Trump or whoever else might come out from the GOP.

    You know in middle school we learned that the government is ran by the house, senate, and president.

    Weird.

    You are being dramatic.

    I wanted Rubio to win, but he has no chance.

    Jeb Bush's drop out had no effect on the polls. Trump will be nominated.

    You obviously don't know much about Hillary. She will play as dirty as anyone in the GOP.

    And I'm not saying she won't play dirty.

    Sanders isn't playing that way and it's helping Hilary.

    At end of day, Sanders voters may actually follow the Donald.

    If Trump is nominated, it means Hillary wins. There's literally no chance that Trump is the president. Any vote for Trump is a vote for Hillary. Period. The Republican party may be r****ded enough to nominate Trump, but I don't think the American people as a whole are r****ded enough to elect him.

    Maybe I'm wrong, maybe the country is full on pants on head r****ded.

    If you look at her record she actually has done a fair amount for those groups. Even as First Lady when she wasn't running for anything.

    I'm not going to deny that Clinton has lied about a lot of things but as even you note so has many politicians. This just sounds to me though you've bought into negative rhetoric about Hillary Clinton without much awareness of her complete record.

    Sanders voters who do are either extremely low information or really don't care about anything but anger at the establishment. The 1% that has rigged the economy that Sanders rails about includes Donald Trump.

    Trump doesn't just admit but is proud of how he's exploited the system like bankruptcy laws to his own enrichment.
