Many people excuse a politician lying by saying “all politicians lie,” so how much dishonesty do you tolerate in a candidate before he loses your support?
I view politicians based on how many people they represent in power circles around me. So I will tolerate more dishonesty in national politics than locally. Think it’s more challenging for someone who represents a state or country to always say the truth vs someone on a local school board or a city mayor

If he makes a promise that turns out to not succeed, that's tolerable.
Lying politicians shouldn't be a thing. Unfortunately the media encourages it because they almost never fact check anyone, particularly the government of the day.
As long as I know WHY they are lying I can tolerate it.
