To be clear, the term "pucky" is best understood in its most common contexts: bull pucky and horse pucky.  In a political context, it can be understood as lies.  I would consider a politician dishonest, if they has 19 prominent examples of proven pucky.  Never in my most obscene nightmares, fleeing Republican  ghouls, have I ever imagined a candidate with 19 pages of pucky!<\/font><\/p>\n

\u2026The Donald is an absolute EXPERT at policing himself. He\u2019s certainly an expert at policing Hillary Clinton, calling her a liar, a bigot, one of the founders of ISIS, and many other things too numerous to list\u2026<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

…or are they<\/a><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/font>?<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

The Hillary Clinton campaign held a special press call to call on the debate moderator, media, and voters to fact check Donald Trump. In order to help the press, debate moderators, and voters fact check Trump, the Clinton campaign has released 19 pages of Trump lies.<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

HFA Communications Director Jennifer Palmieri said, \u201cDonald Trump has shown a clear pattern of repeating provably false lies hoping that nobody will correct him. As we head into this debate, we want voters and viewers to be on alert that they should keep track. Any candidate that tells this many lies, clearly can\u2019t win the debate on the merits.\u201d<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

The full list can be read here<\/a><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/font>. Here\u2019s a quick taste, though:<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n
