Donald Trump won the New Hampshire primary Tuesday -- according to a premature Fox News report.

Citing every precinct reporting, Fox News' website accidentally published election results declaring Trump the winner with 28 percent support and 14 delegates.

"During routine testing in preparation for the New Hampshire primary a malfunction occurred which briefly showed errant data on our website," Fox News Chief Digital Officer Jeff Misenti said in a statement. "This error has been rectified. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused."

Try this: Fox News, who are in the tank for Rubio, pulled a CNN trick, a la, Iowa & Doc Carson. They published this in an attempt to dampen Trump turnout by putting Trump voters under the assumption that he’d already won. Just like declaring a gubernatorial winner in Florida before the polls have closed out in the panhandle.

This sort of error has happened before but I can’t recall who did it. It was several years ago.

Hey, I might make those little ordovie sandwiches for a party, and shave off the sides, to serve, but right there in New Hampshire?

I mean...Trump would never do that.

He’d do what every All American Male would do, stick his thumb, index and middle finger deep into the center of the toast and pull out a hunk, and sop us the egg yolk with it.

Fox is against Trump and promotes Rubio. I see this trend constantly. I used to watch a lot of Fox, I’m now motivated to turn it off.

It will be interesting to see how close they come to actual results. I would be happy with this outcome.

Ah, but how cool would it be if that graphic hit the nail on the head...every vote count correct to say the nearest 100 votes...just by coincidence....We’d never, ever, hear the end of the conspiracy theories.

28% would be a big drop from the polls

If yoiu remember, like I do like it was yesterday. The Bush?Gore election when they declared Fl early and the result was that those in the panhandle did not vote.

It dam near got Gore the election and the news media was never sued for false publishing over that one.

They didn’t target him. They mocked him for being a bully and a crybaby. Naturally, the big baby and his cult took umbrage because their prophet was exposed as a big, what’s the word he uses?
