News Corp. chairman Rupert Murdoch tweeted Saturday on the South Carolina scenarios that could result in Sen. Ted Cruz being finished in the race &and also predicted that Hillary Clinton will be finished if Sen. Bernie Sanders beats her.

Tomorrow's polls. If Trump beats Cruz by ten plus or Rubio runs 2nd it's over for Cruz. And if Sanders beats Hilary in Nev curtains for her.

Rubio may be nominally conservative, but (like Obama) he has really done nothing besides voting “present” a one term senator. And what he tried to accomplish (immigration reform) was not good. Of those still standing, he is probably last in order of my preference.

upert should explain why his WSJ poll was such a pile of excrement. Was he trying to prop up Rubio?

Cruz is a freshman Senator also, albeit one less well liked by his colleagues.

Perhaps, but I think Cruz is far more authentic in his conservative beliefs.

I’m pretty sure Cruz isn’t using Murdoch as a strategic adviser.

The failing @WSJ Wall Street Journal should fire both its pollster and its Editorial Board. Seldom has a paper been so wrong.Totally biased!

“... February 20, 2016 Murdoch’s Fox News network has been favoring Rubio during the election...”

The whole FOX chorus line has been beating the pro-Rubio, ANTI-TRUMP drum for weeks.

Ok. If a person says, “No opinion”, does that mean they had a colostomy?

Watching Trey Gowdy on Fox News with Maria Barteromo and the glasses he’s wearing cause him to look like he has multiple pairs of glasses on. NTW, TV’s on mute so I have no idea what he’s saying. Must be propping up Rubio, would be my guess.

Murdoch the dangerous foreign globalist agent who is interfering in US elections.

This dangerous cheap labor express monster needs to be stripped of US citizenship , deported, and his offices raided like they did to him in England .

Those two completely False Push Polls he had his WSJ propaganda outfit drop two days before the SC election need to be investigated .

It sure is disappointing about SC. The SEC primaries are our best hope. If people don't wake up and see Trump for what he is it sure looks like he's going to get the nomination. I'm sticking with Cruz. I won't crossover and support Trump if he's the nominee. It sure looks like hillary is going to be the POTUS. LORD help us all.

Well, his network is certainly pushing Rubio and Trump. They give so much free airtime to Trump all the time. But I am sure the establishment wants Mr. Amnesty. It’s sad.
