In reply to:

IMO, we have an honest man as President ... who has not lied to the American people...


You mean the President isn't a politician???

Honest men gain stature in society by hard work, not through favors. Honest men admit mistakes (e.g. "Yes, the data we based our decision to go to war on was incorrect." or "Yes, we overestimated our welcome in Iraq." or "Yes, we underestimated the number of troops we needed.") Honesty is the foundation of trust. Lack of trust is why half the country wants to give someone else a try as President.
