Remarkable finding in new Marist poll: By 68-32, voters say they're more concerned about a president who doesn't tell the truth than one who is too old to serve. Maybe we should cover Trump's serial lying as a sign of his unfitness for the presidency. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1837...
One possible reason the polls havenāt moved as much as pundits expected: Voters still donāt like or trust Trump. Can the Democrats shift focus to that?
The man who told over 30,000 untruths in his presidency? I, for one, am shocked.

Ya think? Cover his lying? Novel idea!
Covering all his recent convictions is a great way to do that, since they're all basically fraud convictions that he lied about in commission of the crimes, lied in denying the crimes and continues to lie about his convictions.
@chrislhayes.bsky.social story for you
There is a huge tell here "Given the relentless media focus on presidential age of late, thatās simply remarkable." The fundamental expectation is the media focus is all that matters and, clearly, that it influences, if not decides, the outcome. It's vital that it be shown to be wrong
I wonder why they didn't ask respondents how they feel about adjudicated rapists?
Realistically, who doesn't know that Trump lies like a rug? Even staid outlets like PBS use the L-word regularly in reporting on him. The problem is a tens-of-millions-strong personality cult that does not care, and the permission structure that arises from that. Trump is king of the assholes.
Trump is simply doing too much evil stuff to advertise it all effectively.
