This campaign season, there's been plenty of name calling and lots of accusations.
David Clementson, a PhD candidate at The Ohio State University, has been keeping tabs.
"I mean there was one debate where Rubio and Cruz were just all over Trump, accusing him of dodging questions."
"But that doesn't answer the question."
"He didn't answer…"
"You have yet to answer a single serious question about any of this."
Clementson wanted to see if claims of question dodging actually held up, historically—not necessarily in the unique case of Trump.
So Clementson analyzed the transcripts of 14 presidential debates, from 1996 to 2012.
Overall, he found 51 accusations of question dodging—26 by Dems, 25 by Republicans.
A third of the time, the accused candidate did in fact go off-topic.
But in every single case, the accused candidate still mentioned the question topic.
Meaning that most of the time, he says, candidates are unfairly accused of question-dodging.
The results are in the Journal of Language and Social Psychology.
Clementson's advice for the next debate?
"Just because a politician of your partisan affiliation or your party ID is telling you that the other guy can't be believed, doesn't necessarily mean that that politician is accurately detecting deception."
In other words, don't trust'em.
Because the politician doing the accusing may be the one telling lies.
"Lying Ted…he's a liar."

克莱门森想要看看逃避问题的主张是否真的会变成对手发难的软肋，过往历史显示在特朗普的这种特例情况并不一定32d==t7|XaS。

仅仅是因为你的党派关系中有一位政治家或你的政党身份告诉自己，不能信任对方，这并不一定意味着那位政治家就真的存在欺骗行为Kn(%92P2YPlM)~]D7)f。
