Why Arizona should turn Blue is not a surprise: for many years, the state was represented in the United States Senate by maverick Republican John McCain. McCain would not endorse Trump, who then denigrated McCain’s war record, saying he preferred people who did not get shot down. McCain voted against Trump’s assault on the Affordable Care Act. When he died, Trump was persona non grata at the funeral.
The people of Arizona did not forget that, and have not forgiven it. Thus the FNC call. What happened next was as predictable as it was instructive: Trump phoned Murdoch and demanded that calling Arizona for the Dems was not only wrong, but should be retracted. And it was at this point that we knew Rupe had dropped The Donald: he refused to intervene. FNC called it; others followed, as had happened before.
Now, as Biden leads the count in Georgia and Pennsylvania, Murdoch is doubling down. The New York Post, normally rabidly pro-Trump, has seen enough. “Downcast Trump makes baseless election fraud claims in White House address” they told their followers. Rupe won’t back a loser. And, with Biden projected to take PA, and with it a majority of Electoral College votes, Trump is a loser. So under the bus he goes.
Rupert Murdoch backed Republican Presidential nominees all the way back to Ronald Reagan. But he does not want to be seen to back a loser. That’s why he ditched the Tories and backed Blair. And as projections come in claiming that Biden will win Pennsylvania, he will do the same with The Donald. No sentimentality. No hesitation. No more Trump.
Donald Trump joins George Bush senior, Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford and Herbert Hoover on the incumbent one-term scrapheap. Murdoch has thrown him under the bus.

In other words, Murdoch chews them up and shits them out.
Over the next two days, expect Fox News to reveal everything that they have in the file marked "Trump".
So we know what to think of Starmer when Murdoch works him like a glove puppet......
"Donald Trump joins George Bush senior, Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford and Herbert Hoover on the incumbent one-term scrapheap"
Let's hope he doesn't do a Grover Cleveland then.
