    Jeet Heer Retweeted John Harwood

    This is true and has wide political implications. Because knowledge of Trump's dishonesty is baked in, there's no more marginal votes to be gained from emphasizing it. His lies should be corrected but Democrats need to focus on issues.https://twitter.com/JohnJHarwood/status/992486783723163648 …

        They absolutely need to... so they won’t. It’ll be TrumpRussia and other scandals 24/7 until somehow they talk themselves into losing another slam dunk election and let R’s keep the House majority.

        So normalizing lying from the Executive branch (and Republicans writ large) is okay?

        For generations we've operated under the belief that 'all politicians are liars'. Trump is merely capitalizing on the adage.

        the trick is instead of emphasizing trump's dishonesty the democrats should actually be honest.

        it isn't that americans are okay with a dishonest president but that they shrewdly perceive a lack of contrast between the parties on the issue of being liars.

        Does this also go for general corruption (Pruit, emoluments, etc.), or is that a different kind of lie?

        Republican pollster hopes to staunch the bleeding. This is ridiculous.
