After Donald Trump fueled his warnings about voter fraud on Wednesday night by refusing to commit to accepting the results of the election, one Fox News editor pointed out that there couldn’t possibly be enough voter fraud to account for the Republican nominee’s significant lag in the polls.

During a post-debate discussion about Trump’s warnings about a “rigged” election, Megyn Kelly asked Chris Stirewalt, the outlet’s digital politics editor, “What if there is voter fraud?”

“Of course there’s voter fraud. He’s losing by eight points. There ain’t that much voter fraud,” Stirewalt said. “If the whole country was Chicago there wouldn’t be enough voter fraud to do that.”

  1. Trump’s great respect for women means never having to concede to one.

  2. The sad fact is that even on the historic night when this nation finally elects a woman as President, the “news” folks will cut away from her big night and over to the empty podium at Trump HQ waiting to see what he does or doesn’t do.

    It would be nice if after calling the election for Hillary that – unlike what happened with Palin – the networks & talking heads moved on from talking to & about Trump… and let him simply. Go. Away.

    Fox may have motivation to stop giving him coverage if he really is trying to start a network of his own.

  4. I also wonder what Sunday morning would be like without President, er, former Senator McCain on the TV…
