After the Congressional Special Election down in Georgia, President Trump exclaimed, Great victory. (He meant for Trump.)

At the same time the Democrats were saying the same thing: They said they’d won a great victory. And defeated Trump.

Somebody wasn’t telling the truth.

And Sean Trende, of Real Clear Politics, put his finger on who: “This isn’t a win, and it isn’t a defeat. It’s a ‘to be continued,’” he wrote (in the final runoff election in June.)

Both sides had thrown honesty right out the window. And sitting at home, listening, no one seemed to mind. The truth had vanished. But hardly a soul blinked.
