If only someone had told them that this exact outcome would happen.

The problem was someone else also told them this exact outcome wouldn't happen.

The problem is how do you prove the other guy is a liar when he is saying you're a liar?

Yup, I just described how the british political system is played.

If the bus were* true

When using be in an if clause for an unreal conditional sentence, always conjugate it as were, no matter what the subject is. Even if the subject is first-person singular (I) or third-person singular (he, she, or it), still use were with an if clause in unreal conditional sentences.
