You don't have a chance of being a candidate; you'd have to be a politician for that and who ever heard of a politician that couldn't lie?

Nope.

Japan would not have surrendered and the war would have gone on for at least a year with another million casualties if Harry Truman hadn't lied and said we had enough atom bombs to turn one of their cities into a flaming hell every week. We had none left and no prospect of making another for an entire year because we had used up the world's entire supply of U-235 and plutonium in the bombs we dropped. So if you can't lie to America's enemies, no, you may not be qualified to be president. It was the lie that saved a million lives--ours, and Japanese also.

No, because Americans have a cultural mythology that does not square with reality. You would be asked questions that, when you answered truthfully (e.g. "Iraq didn't have WMD is 2002 and we knew that"), would offend enough voters that you'd have very few supporters at the end of the day.

Haha! You can't lie? Then you' have no chance! Because even if you tell the truth people will think you are lying, cos that's what politicians do.
