Here, I just checked politifact. Draw your own conclusions about who is least truthful between Trump and Hillary:

Trump is a ridiculous liar but politifact isn't really a systematic comparison for honesty.

Carson is ending his campaign: http://www.politico.com/story/2016/03/politico-breaking-news-carson-says-he-sees-no-political-path-to-gop-nomination-220142

Would have been great if he dropped out before super tuesday, who knows what the margins might have been.

[Shadowlord]

He didn't actually say he was quitting, though, did he? You never know, maybe God will deliver the election still, by, let's say, hacking all the remaining voting machines?

The hope of rapid impeachment, presumably.

In that thread of thought... wonder who he'll pick for running-mate? All "trump/trump's-hair 2016" jokes aside. I'm ready for another forum guessing game... would it be too easy to guess Sarah Palin???

I would not even bat an eyelash if he nominated his son as his running mate.

Then again, he son seems to have a penchant for occasional honesty which his father doesn't seem to share.

Yeah you're right, he stopped short of officially saying he is dropping out, but is going to do a formal announcement on Friday. He's also skipping the republican debate tomorrow.

You know what I think the crashing VP revelation is going to be? Marco Rubio.

Think about it:

-Is a political insider, like Trump said.
-Preexisting bromance during debate season.
-Covers several demographics Trump has low-access to, most notably hispanics.
-Generally at least one member of a ticket is hot, Trump definitely doesn't have it anymore but nobody can deny Rubio's tight hot vaguely-brown ass.
-Still out of left field enough to be a Trumpism.

He did mention at one point that he wanted a "political insider". And Chris Christie seems to be angling for it. Nevada/New Jersey 2016?

I could see that happening in a brokered convention, or maybe Cruz. Though the establishment going with a Cruz-Rubio or Rubio-Cruz ticket and dumping Trump in a contested convention seems more likely.

Trump's home state is New York, not Nevada.

I think Trump/Christie would produce one of those administrations that seems good on paper but is riven internally by strife. Those two have giant egos, are "big tough talkin' guis" and I imagine Christie would not deal with playing second fiddle to Trump very well.

Here, I just checked politifact. Draw your own conclusions about who is least truthful between Trump and Hillary:

Politifact is biased as hell and I've heard it's notorious for skewing "facts". It's like taking Fox seriously. Or HuffPost opinion articles. I at least have heard it's slanted towards the left, so go figure that they'd have Sanders and Clinton as mostly truthful and Trump as mostly lying. Probably other republican candidates as well. I'd take their information with a grain of salt and then check other sources rather than rely on them solely for a scale of "who's the biggest political liar".

He did mention at one point that he wanted a "political insider". And Chris Christie seems to be angling for it.

After Christie backed Trump I recall him being asked what his plans for the future after the election were. He was saying that he expected to finish his term as governor and then retire from politics to pursue his dream of starting a business or something. No mention of vice president or cabinet positions or anything.

His daughter:
-Corporate insider
-If she wasn't his daughter he woulda...
-Definitely hot
-In your heart you know he would

What.

Crap, you're right; I knew that. It's just... his very presence screams Vegas.

Ah well. That's my one guess out of the way, then. Doesn't sit quite right, though; I can't imagine Christie not being a political lifer.

> politifact is biased as hell, of course they say trump is lying
What.

Just saying that I would not personally rely on Politifact alone for determining how truthful a political figure is.

Their website setup seems kinda sketchy as well, now that I think about it. Taking quotes that political figures have made, taking them out of context, interpreting the accuracy of those quotes based on the views and/or knowledge of whomever's reviewing the "fact" at the moment, then putting all the results in an easy to read graph of numbers for people to quickly look at. Seems like an easy way to make easy-to-read propaganda.
