I didn't know he practiced medicince. I did hear him in one of the debates refer to himself as "A Champion of the Constitution" ; So that explains it.There's an old saying that goes, truth tells, but stories sell. Unfortunately, we live in a culture that's more interested in hearing stories that romance us rather than facts. We like to fall in love with whom we vote for; We want to connect with our candidate on some level. That's the sad reality. Doesn't mean, though, that the others are always liars. I think that's taking things to the other extreme. But we tend to gravitate toward that which sounds good, looks good, and makes us feel good.
