As Donald Trump proclaimed to Fox that he is winning, Fox News made him look like an idiot by releasing a poll that showed Trump losing to Hillary Clinton.
Trump went on Special Report with Bret Baier and said, “People think of me as an attacker, but I’d rather be talking about policy. If we can take our campaign against Hillary Clinton and only talk about policy, not talking about Crooked Hillary and all of the things that we’re talking about, I’d be very happy, but it doesn’t seem to be going that way, because they spent I guess close to $100 million on negative ads on me already, and I guess based on the polls I’m seeing, I’m leading, and I haven’t started spending money yet.”

This was the most Trump moment of the 2016 campaign. As Trump was claiming that he was winning the election, the very network he was speaking to released a poll showing him losing in two critical swing states.
Trump can continue to claim that he is winning, but the overwhelming amount of data coming out suggests that he is losing.
Fox News just made Trump look like a fool, as the one consistency of the 2016 election continues to be that whatever can wrong, will go wrong for the Republican Party.
After eight years of Republican lies and obstruction, Karma is getting full payback on the GOP.
