What's this?

I think we were in this case not too long ago

I don’t remember if it Obama, Trump or W, but I remember different networks had called different states where it would have clinched 270, but no network had pulled the trigger.

Excellent point. However, I think even Fox may be quietly looking forward -- TomGlansAski 11/05/2020 1:01PM

It’s much better for Fox when there is someone they can criticize in the WH -- KCHoo 11/05/2020 1:04PM

How do you think CNN’s ratings are compared to 5 years ago? Same shit ** -- CharlestonSC 11/05/2020 1:07PM

Yep. Getting angry and criticizing stuff is easier for people to digest. ** -- KCHoo 11/05/2020 1:09PM

Correct. And Trump would blow a gasket if Fox called ballgame before any -- CT Wahoo 11/05/2020 1:04PM

I think it’s also just a bad look in general to call the entire election -- CharlestonSC 11/05/2020 1:08PM

Yup. So when NBC/ABC/CNN call it there will be pressure to follow suit ** -- Beerman 11/05/2020 1:12PM

Correct ** -- WaxHoo 11/05/2020 12:59PM

Trump has a plan -- WahooMatt05 11/05/2020 12:50PM
