I think it's more a case of...

Republican Primaries:
Liar Repub A
vs
Liar Repub B

Democratic Primaries:
Liar Dem A
vs
Liar Dem B

Election:
Liar Repub Winner
vs
Liar Dem Winner

The candidates who don't lie likely don't have the financial backing and supporters (hence the lack of need for lying) to ever become a legitimate candidate. Money doesn't win the election, but it sure as hell gets you down to the final 2 choices.

We won't have honest candidates with a legitimate chance at winning until we completely overhaul our campaign fundraising/finance/Super PAC laws, and our lobbying laws... and since the people who CAN change those laws are making millions and tens of millions of dollars, while staying in power, off of how it currently is... good luck.
