None of the people you mentioned -- not the Republicans, not Clinton -- come remotely close to matching Trump's mendacity, either in degree or in kind. I like the Wall Street Journal imagery, don't you?  I especially appreciate that it's the WSJ.

Trump is a reckless, dangerous man; reckless and dangerous in ways that Cruz et alia (and Pence) are not.  Not that I would or do agree with them about much of anything; but they aren't nuts.

PS; What do you think about the wiretapping lie?
