  2. Only to the extent that when taxes are lowered, America will be all flowery meadows and rainbow skies, and rivers made of chocolate, where the children will dance and laugh and play with gumdrop smiles.*

    Yes, the liberal voodoo economics that you can freely hand out increased public benefits forever while not balancing the budget was touched on.

    Libtard propaganda/hit piece is not fact checking. Majority of above is extremely subjective not objective.

    Ok, pick one fact-checked statement from the list.

    Clearly factcheck considers hearsay facts and disregards common sense.

    Okay; I will take on several of them.

    "• Former Florida governor Jeb Bush said Trump donated to his gubernatorial campaign to get him to change his mind on casino gambling in Florida. But Trump denied he ever wanted to bring casino gambling to the state. A former lobbyist says he did.

    So an unnamed "former lobbyist" said so therefore that is a fact? When did hearsay become fact?

    "• Former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee said that Hillary Clinton was "under investigation by the FBI" because she "destroyed government records." Not true. She had the authority to delete personal emails."

    Factcheck/USA Today has no way to verify that Clinton did not delete emails that would have been considered government records. Only way to state this as fact is if they have analyzed every single deleted email otherwise they are simply making shit up.

    Do you want me to address more of them?

    They do it all the time. In 2011 and 07 when Ron Paul was in the debates, he pulled vocal crowds and applause. The media caught on and either hand selected crowds or silenced their reaction using the sound board. Trump himself was much more subdued tho. Not his usual self. He let the politicians talk their usual crap and only came out swinging against rand Paul and Scott Walker.

    Another one:

    " Florida Sen. Marco Rubio said that U.S. policies to combat climate change would "do absolutely nothing." The U.S. acting alone would have a small effect on rising temperatures and sea levels, and experts say U.S. leadership on the issue would prompt other nations to act."

    Experts saying that US doing something would prompt other nations to act is complete speculation. When did speculation become fact?
