Rupert Murdoch Privately Predicts A Landslide Biden Win
TPM ^ | 10/15/2020 | Zoe Richards

Posted on 10/15/2020 9:17:47 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

Media magnate Rupert Murdoch has predicted privately that Democratic nominee Joe Biden will defeat President Donald Trump in the presidential election in a landslide victory, the Daily Beast reported Thursday.

-snip-

Murdoch has appeared to enjoy unhindered access to the White House, but has not spoken with Trump lately — at least for several weeks, sources confided to the Daily Beast — after Murdoch grew tired of Trump’s unending grievances about negative coverage from Fox News.

Murdoch has griped about Trump in the past, suggesting in a tweet ahead of the 2016 presidential election that then-candidate Donald Trump had been “embarrassing his friends and “the whole country.”

A Murdoch executive told the Daily Beast that Murdoch grew increasingly frustrated with Trump last winter, and at that time had even considered backing then-Democratic presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg, whom he had pushed for a presidential run four years prior.

Jerry Hall called Rupert Murdoch’s children in a ‘panic’ and told them to come see their father one last time after he was airlifted off son Lachlan’s yacht following near-fatal fall

Yikes. If true I think we’re headed for disaster.

Trying to decide if I should invest in rental property and since I live in Portland (where rents are falling) so thinking of getting out of here and investing in Redmond, WA - lots of stable business there. If POTUS wins then I feel confident but if Biden wins I feel like we’re headed down the tubes...maybe worse than Obama.

Rupert Murdoch is closing in on 90 years old. As Bob Grant used to say, he shouldn’t be buying any green bananas.

Landslide means you win 49 states...is Biden going to win Wyoming? Texas? West Virginia?

Mr. Murdoch, I thought you had a better understanding of us Americans than to believe that prediction. Stop being so impressed with your Sons. No, they don’t have the game figured out yet!

Act like he’s behind. Get out the vote. Don’t take the foot off the accelerator.

Aim for a landslide even if we have to settle for a win after all the cheating.

While everyone is looking at trump/biden, the left is quietly trying to steal local, house, and senate races.

Before we go off on Murdoch, be aware that Lindsey Graham publicly stated pretty much the same thing this morning to the Dems.on the Senate floor, during the confirmation hearings

“Y’all have a pretty good change of winning the White House.“

Murdoch must be looking at his own Fox News fake news polls.

It’s been time for that since 2011, since the late Roger Ailes announced a “course correction” for Fox News towards the left. Hiring Chris Wallace was part of that “course correction”.

This is nothing new. Murdoch was working with the clintons years ago.

It’s all about election fraud. Over 100 million unsolicited ballots out there for them to play with.
