What does Sanders lie about? I mean sure you can disagree with his policies and view of economics, but I haven't seen him coming close to the level of just making up stuff the way Trump does. Same with Hilary - she's full of crap but she's a lot more subtle about it most of the time. She lies by omission or she suddenly changes her stances in an extremely untrustworthy way, but she rarely just makes up some event that never happened like Trump (like the thousands celebrating 9/11 in New Jersey or the no-go areas for police in London).
I think it's a pretty fair analysis, given that Trump has pretty clearly chosen to use blatantly lying as a basic campaign strategy.

That education and healthcare and whatever else he's promising can be free. There is no such thing as free someone always has to foot the bill. But you have been conditioned to not believe this kind of dishonesty is called lying. Almost everything he says is a lie.
You realize that there were people celebrating in NJ after 9/11 as proven by video and newspaper articles and that there are no-go areas for police in London as proven by testimony from London police?

When has he ever claimed that it will be free?
Source?
Speaking as someone who just lived in London for two and a half years: bullshit. What testimony?
