but do you have a better metric to offer ? It doesn ' t matter if I do or not . I ' m not the one making the claim . If you want me to believe what you ' re saying , you have to find a way to back it up . it ' s possible the majority of claims that Trump made weren ' t what his supporters cared about , what if they only cared about those two false things ? Yes , it ' s possible . But again , I ' m not the one making the claim . Since your claim was so strongly worded objective fact , you need a strong defense to support it . It ' s not convincing to merely show it ' s possible the evidence supports your position , especially not when I ' ve shown the evidence could be misleading . And I if a candidate makes a false claim , and doesn ' t realize it ' s false , sure , that may not be lyingOK , so what about your statement that Trump lied more than half the time ? Again , your argument has a lot of gaps . It weakens your position to criticize others for poor critical thinking skills when your own comments reflect poorly on your own skills .
