‘Wake up and smell the stink’

“Truth is the best propaganda and lies the worst. To be persuasive we must be believable, to be believable we must be credible; To be credible we must be truthful. It’s as simple as that.” – Edward R. Murrow

Hillary Clinton doesn’t even come close to being any of these things. She lies, she hides and she thinks the American people are stupid. The American people need to wake up and smell the stink. The Democratic Party is covering all of us with a giant smoke screen to cover all of Clinton’s misdeeds.

Donald Trump may not be perfect but he tells it like it is and our country needs that. You might want to keep this in mind when you go to vote.
