Rupert Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal : ‘Bad Sign’ Trump Is Following Jeff Sessions’ Lead
Breitbart ^ | JAN. 28, 2016 | by JULIA HAHN

Today the editors of Rupert Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal slammed GOP frontrunner Donald Trump for his opposition to the publication’s long-standing support for open border trade and immigration policies.

The Wall Street Journal, like Murdoch, is decidedly open borders. In 1984, the WSJ editorial board wrote, “If Washington still wants to ‘do something’ about immigration, we propose a five-word constitutional amendment: There shall be open borders

The WSJ editors suggest that they would much prefer Trump work with Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI)56% and Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY)44% than Jeff Sessions. The editors write that if Trump were to “work closely with Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell,” he could perhaps “craft a reform agenda to revive the economy à la Reagan. His tax reform outline is close enough to sensible that Mr. Ryan could knock it into shape. He would not want to be a ‘loser’ office,” the editors explain.

Sessions, unlike many Washington politicians, has proven that he is not afraid to strike back at the publication favored by many in the Republican Party’s donor-class. In a letter to the editors last year, Sessions wrote: “America is a country, not a spreadsheet. A country puts the needs of its own citizens first.”

Interestingly, in not one of the Republican debates thus far has Marco Rubio been asked about his longstanding support for the Trans-Pacific Partnership, which has been endorsed by Rupert Murdoch, the media mogul behind Fox and the Wall Street Journal.

When asked why he thought this to be the case, Sessions said, “I think their owners, their corporate gurus that dominate the network and stations, are internationalists. They’re globalists and they’ve bought into this. They just have.”

Why does the GOP refuse to follow the Constitution? How is Rubio even eligible to be a presidential candidate? GOP perpetrators of a fraud!! And they do not even try to conceal their deceit.

And the nation sleeps on to the international media's deception.

Now I understand. I just read the article, his group has not even been contacted about receiving money from the fundraiser. Not a smart thing to do as the head of a charity group. Plus, I never really heard of the group. He claims he has 180K members. Looks like he is the one dragging his group into the fray. I don’t think I have heard Trump mention a specific group, just he was raising money for the vets....

It was not until Trump revealed that he was taking advice from Sessions that I took him seriously as a candidate. Sessions’ input is a big factor in Trump’s favor as far as I’m concerned.

The open borders mogul can not stand that President Trump will secure American borders. Secure the borders, secure the nation, halt the foreign invasion.

Jim, which is why Aussie Murduck and MGYN Rather planned in their words a Kill Shot with Trump if he had been dumb enough to go into their trap posing as a debate.
