There is a vastly different standard for libel for politicians than for private citizens. The standard for a libel case against a POTUS candidate is so high that it can't be reached, therefore it is open season on POTUS candidates.
And it should be. I don't want some judge deciding what can and can't be said in a POTUS campaign. Let everybody say anything they want and let the public sort it out.
