Politicians and the lies they tell | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: Donald Trump is a loud mouth authoritarian and he appeals to authoritarians. The truth is not necessary for them. They want a consistent narrative (like Curia and natural law) rather than the truth. Authoritarians are hard to beat because to do so you have to insult the base as stooges. Its a judgment call to just let him flame out on his own or attack him as a fascist who is unqualified for office. As for her clumsiness about questions of the truth, its why I supported Sanders and why Sanders beats Trump by higher margins in national polls. The core Democratic establishment at all levels want Hillary and now they have her. If their turnout machine can win the swing states and she can beat Trump in the debates we will forget this discussion.
