    It's one possibility, but it's not the only possibility, nor is it even the most-likely scenario.

    Do you remember in 2020 when right after the polls opened, Fox News called Arizona for Biden? LMFAO! Yeah, they somehow knew how that would go down hours before their precincts stopped taking in ballots.

    Disagree. She’s just trying to frame him as a coward. I highly doubt she really wants another debate.

    Very, very strange. I think I will invent a name for this incredibly unusual phenomena. From here on out such occurrences shall be referred to as "exit polling." Thank you GR22 for bringing this to our attention.

    A certain alien seems to be struggling with the reality that his rapist/thief/serial liar presidential candidate, in addition to experiencing significant and noticeable cognitive decline, just got his ass kicked by a black woman who literally mopped up the debate stage floor with his stinky butt.

    Anybody who watched the debate does not need Fox to tell them Trump chickened out. Trump was pathetic.

    It's pretty easy to predict that America would reject a traitor

    Never had any problems in Arizona or Maricopa County. Just ask AzCat. (chuckle)

    I was so pissed with Chris Stirewalt, head of the decision desk, and Fox News that I totally quit watching Fox News. He was later fired I think over this debacle. I was already watching much less of their garbage because of the Wisconsin Idiot Losing VP Candidate on their board, Paul Ryan. Somehow, Fox News knew the fix was in and they were happy to report it. That was the final straw for me.

    Brett Baier is getting a bad rap on this. It was way, way too close to call that early. This doesn't mean I give a shit about Brett. They could fire his ass, and I'd never know if not reported in the news. He was right to question the call and especially from Fox News. For all I know Brett could have known the fix was in too.

    David Muir is a stinky piece of shit for his biased participation in that debate. One thing is certain, that would have never happened at Fox News, and I don't like Fox News. Sean Hannity and Jesse Waters or Laura Ingraham would at least give Kamrade Kamala a chance to stand on her own two feet which is something we all know she cannot do whether you will admit it or not.

    You seem very angry. But is it directed in the proper direction?

    For example; if your party had nominated, say Nikki Haley, instead of a racist, rapist, convicted felon, traitor......do you think this election would even be remotely close?

    Maybe the problem is people who think like you tolerating, or even LOVING, vile criminal liars.....or the people who lie for and enable them. ?

    Maybe higher levels of integrity would lower your level of discontent?

    Arizona has been a leader in mail-in ballots. I've been on the PERL (Permanent Early Ballot List) for years. Means by ballots are automatically mailed to me without av request. Haven't voted in person on election day in a decade? Honestly, I don't remember.

    Early ballots turned in on time are counted starting election day. Usually around 8:00 PM local AZ time, an hour after polls close, the state releases the first count. With this early mail-in count four years ago, Biden had a +110,000 lead.

    At this point, Fox did the math knowing estimated vote counts by Arizona precinct and called Arizona for Biden. Others waited to call it because the math said with all votes counted, it was going to be close. Both were right, as Biden did win, by about 10,000 votes, which was one if closest margins in the country.

    Harris needs a second debate, not Trump. Trump won the first debate. Trump is ahead
    Nev 2-3
    Arizona 4-5
    GA 5
    Penn 3.5
    Mich 3
    Wisconsin 3

    Trump winning the popular vote. Low propensity black Democratic voters not showing up in early polls. Black men under 45 repelled by Kamala. Trump 312-226 in the EC and it could get uglier. Fetterman hinting Trump will take Penn.

    Gonna be an early call on election night.

    Democrats only chance is to assassinate Trump, which roughly 30% want to see occur. Deep State trying to make it happen

    There is one problem with that narrative. Arizona wasn't called for Biden until most of the ballots were counted.
    Correction: Fox called Arizona for Biden when enough ballots were counted to make a statistically accurate projection. Still rebuts the absurd implied conspiracy theory.

    It's really telling when people are more upset about a cable network making a non-binding projection about a state than they are about the President lying about the results and trying to have them overturned.

    Paul Ryan in the Fox gears was a pain in the azz... He's a pathetic uni-party/RINO clown that made them less "balanced."

    Paul Ryan is what us old folks used to refer to as a traditional Reagan Republican.

    Only you 'remember' that, Rick. Fox called Arizona after the polls closed.

    As a point-of-order, Fox News called Arizona at 11:20PM Eastern Time, when their polls closed at 9:00PM Eastern Time. It was an early call, and one in which the methods could be called into question despite being right, but it was right and it was well after the polls closed.
