It's probably the go to channel for Republican voters.
But the thing is that not all Republicans are Trump supporters.
Many are quite opposed to his 'control' of the party.
I sometimes think the best 'tell' of how a politician has performed is seeing the reaction of commentators with a political bias.
After the Trump-Harris debate the Fox folk were generally down and subdued.
The CNN people were quite happy.
You'd give the points to Harris.
In the Vance-Walz debate both sides were quite pleased....we'll call it a draw.
It was interesting when the interview finished this morning I was expecting the Fox panelists to be quite aggressive about her performance and while it was fairly negative they weren't quite as damning as I expected, even praising her combative approach.
So on that basis the "entry into enemy territory" probably didn't go too badly for her.
Of course the more extreme Fox contributors will probably crucify her, but that's to be expected.
I do think that generally she's lost a bit of the momentum she had after the Presidential debate and the race is now very tight.
The other thing that may come into play is this....
The world is in a mess at the moment...Kim is blowing up roads, the Chinese are circling Taiwan, Israel is about to bomb Iran and the war in Ukraine continues.
The Americans are going to be preoccupied for the next three weeks and as the election day approaches will one of the 'nut-jobs' take advantage of the USA looking the other way to do something to ignite one of these situations.
