Marco Rubio’s star may be rising and Tony Abbott’s falling among senior News Corp executives, a Sydney speech on Thursday night by chief executive Robert Thomson suggested.
The chief of the media group, whose assets include a range of influential newspapers in the US, Australia and the UK, told an audience at the Lowy Institute that the Florida senator looked an impressive candidate in the race to secure the Republican nomination to run for US president.
“Personally I slightly fell in love with Marco Rubio at the last Republican National Convention because I thought he told a great personal narrative in a compelling way,” said Thomson.

Now I get it.
Senore’ Rubio was throughly misleading when first running for the senate.
Once elected he dropped his no amnesty stance.
Rubio is a LIAR and i will not vote for him again.
