my debate zinger for hillary to use: "you really just make things up, don't you."

it's not enough to simply deny or refute trump's lies one by one.

his smears works not because any one of them is true but because the accusations and the disagreements create doubt and a negative impression against the accused.

we need a way to dismiss not only the lie, but also the liar.

No, she has to be serious but witty to appeal to a bigger audience (and young people). That's how you make headlines, memes, twitter posts, etc.

She should say something like..you always say im crooked and a liar, but all the nonpartisan fact checkers have said over and over that you have been lying than most of your opponents combined. Google it folks, Im not lying..*smile. Then say something like..if you were Pinocchio, Geppetto would be dead and your head would have fallen off.
