Kingmaker?

What evidence do you have to back up that claim?

Brett Baier (the Main darling at FOX) was hoping they could sell RINO Tim Scott, but polls must not be good for the Michael Steele wannabe.

Won't matter, Trump is going to be the nominee, and I hope Fox goes to hell.

Murdoch’s Jewish? I don’t think so.

It has long been my understanding that he is. He's also Australian.

When the media chooses to promote one Republican candidate over all the others, I run the other way. They have done that way too many times in the past.

More evidence that DeSantis is the establishment’s chosen one.


LOL!!! So now we believe MSN and Vanity Fair? Geezzz...

Rupert Murdoch wouldn’t have such a meeting. And, if he did, you wouldn’t know about it. The Murdochs will be supporting democrats as they have done for several years.

Makes sense. He wants to make Trump a "non person". And he pushes DeSantis.

“If true”? Are you kidding? Of course its true. Fox has always hated Trump. They’ve always been with the RINO establishment.

Not surprising. Rupert probably sees DeSantis our best shot at winning the White House in 2024. But he’s an old man. His liberal sons are going to be in charge. If I were him, I would sell Fox News to somebody like Elon Musk who’s actually serious about supporting free speech.

From wikipedia:

Keith Rupert Murdoch was born on 11 March 1931 in Melbourne, the second of four children of Sir Keith Murdoch (1885–1952) and Dame Elisabeth (née Greene; 1909–2012).[21][22]: 9 He is of English, Irish, and Scottish ancestry. His parents were also born in Melbourne. His father was a war correspondent and later a regional newspaper magnate owning two newspapers in Adelaide and a radio station in a faraway mining town, and chairman of the Herald and Weekly Times publishing company.[7][23]: 16 [24] Murdoch had three sisters: Helen (1929–2004), Anne (born 1935) and Janet (born 1939).[25]: 47 His Scottish-born paternal grandfather, Patrick John Murdoch, was a Presbyterian minister.[26] Later in life, Murdoch chose to go by his second name, the first name of his maternal grandfather.

The story was originally published by Vanity Fair, and picked up by multiple news networks. Then there's this:

*He visited Israel, UK, Japan, and South Korea. Was he seeking permission from these countries to run? Perhaps, but I doubt it. More likely he was trying to demonstrate his grasp of foreign affairs, before officially announcing.*

Cut the crap. He was in the house. This trip was Kabuki window-dressing. No need for foreign trips. Trump just may be doing the same thing with his support for Israel.

*RDS is the best governor in country. He is not the best president material. Career politicians don’t make best president’s.*
Top-notch governor-big state. Good enough. Reagan was the best GOV-a non politician. Trump could head him off at the pass with Rand Paul as his VP.
