Quote of the Week -- "Post-Truth Era" Edition

“I think he can hold his own.  He just needs to be — to ignore, as everybody here has said — ignore the bait. He should just dismiss all the quotations that he hears, the way that Pence did. Deny it ever happened and then ignore the fact checkers the next day.”
-- Fox News contributor Charles Krauthammer, advising Trump to lie about his past statements if they come up during this Sunday's debate.

It now appears the GOP has fully embraced not only the Post-Truth Era generally, but Donald Trump's candidacy specifically. In other words, the time has come for Hillary, Obama, and the Democrats to come to their senses and fully blame the Republican Party for the rise of Donald Trump, something HRC and Obama have been reluctant to do for reasons I do not fully understand.
