Fox Business Pushes Trump Fantasy He's Going To Flip A Bunch Of Blue States Red

Trump gives an interview to Breitbart, and Fox Business Network's Stuart Varney and Lauren Simonetti dutifully report on it as though the nonsense Trump was blathering is fact. Too bad neither of them could keep a straight face while they were doing it.

VARNEY: Now this. Donald Trump says he's going to make a play for deep blue states this year. Lauren, which states is he going to try to flip red?

SIMONETTI: Democratic strongholds like New York, New Jersey, Minnesota, also Virginia and New Mexico. It's going to be tough, but Donald Trump told Breitbart he's going to make a “heavy play to try to flip those states.

For New York he says he might rent out Madison Square Garden Stuart, for a big Trump-style rally. He said, he mentioned Lee Zeldin specifically, he said he's really encouraged by how close he came to winning the governorship of New York and since then things have only gotten worse with the migrant crisis.

So the question is, I mean, can New Yorkers or Minnesotans flip for Trump this year?

VARNEY: If they flip for trump in New York, that would signal a revolution, in my opinion, but, it's not out of the question.

SIMONETTI: Hey, I mean -- okay. I doubt it, but it could happen. He's going to make a heavy play.

Yes, Jesse Watters Hosted A Tarot Card Reading On 'The News'

Yes.  I know.  It is ridiculous, even for Fox.  It transcends the concept  of "freak show".  It is mesmerising in the same way a 50-car pileup is mesmerizing. 

It is Sybil the Soothsayer from Network.

 It is Jesse Watters' whackjob relative -- the one they keep in the attic except on special occasions -- wearing a lacquered fright wig she fished out of Salena Zito's discard pile.  And everyone involved was drunk.

Judges would accept any or all of these as valid answers on the "WT actual F happened on Fox News last night?" political aptitude test.

However, two things.
