Media mogul Rupert Murdoch argued Wednesday that Republicans would be "mad" not to rally around Donald Trump should the businessman become the GOP presidential nominee.
Murdoch, who suggested earlier this week that Republicans should "close ranks to fight real enemy," shared a tweet Wednesday saying Trump is "reaching out to make peace" with members of the party.
"If he becomes inevitable party would be mad not to unify," Murdoch wrote.

More Bad News for Marco Rubio: He Just Lost the Support of Fox News
NY Magazine ^
In his role as the donor class’s darling, Marco Rubio has enjoyed support from the Republicans’ media arm, Fox News. Throughout the primary, Fox provided Rubio with friendly interviews and key bookings, including the first prime-time response to Barack Obama’s Oval Office address on ISIS. Many of the network’s top pundits, including Stephen Hayes and Charles Krauthammer, have been enthusiastic boosters. Bill Sammon, Fox’s Washington managing editor, is the father of Rubio’s communications director, Brooke Sammon.
But this alliance now seems to be over. According to three Fox sources, Fox chief Roger Ailes has told people he’s lost confidence in Rubio’s ability to win. “We’re finished with Rubio,” Ailes recently told a Fox host. “We can’t do the Rubio thing anymore.”
Ailes was already concerned about Rubio’s lackluster performance in GOP primaries and caucuses, winning only one contest among the 15 that have been held. But the more proximate cause for the flip was an embarrassing New York Times article revealing that Rubio and Ailes had a secret dinner meeting in 2013 during which the Florida senator successfully lobbied the Fox News chief to throw his support behind the “Gang of 8” comprehensive immigration-reform bill. “Roger hates seeing his name in print,” a longtime Ailes associate told me. “He was appalled the dinner was reported,” the source said.
They're slowly getting to that final stage of grief.
When rape is inevitable, lean back and enjoy it. Murdoch is a realist. He sees the handwriting on the wall.
He was appalled the dinner was reported
**********************************************
I bet he was. He did not want his treachery against the citizens to get out.
Faux News has taken a big hit because of their brazen advocacy of The Cheap Labor Express and its candidates.
Don’t think for a second that Murdoch has changed his mind about flooding our country with foreigners, he’s just responding to the reality that the citizens are really ticked off about it.
“I trust Rupert as much as I trust Romney.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Romney’s fighting harder against Trump than he did Obama.
As for Ailes/Murdoch:

Ailes is the Ventriloquist and Rush is the puppet.
Ailes writes the script and Rush says Rubio is a true conservative, same for Hannity.
Wasn’t Hannity saying he would endorse after a few debates?
#11 is coming up and Hannity still on the fence.
With over 325 delegates and 10 state wins Trump is heading into the winner take all states with a full head of momentum.
Almost all the upcoming states in the north are big and for Trump. Maine, CT. NY. NJ. PA. OH, IL all Trump country.
Florida, NC. AZ. and CA. likely Trump wins.
We won’t let the GOPe ignore us will we?
Murdoch’s tweets are a cookbook
Rupert will be 93 in 2024.
Whatever he wants these days, he better be in a hurry.
Zackly!
The establishment needs to be made to realize that they are the controversy not Trump and the Trump voters, we the people, who want him as president. Four to eight years of Trump is better than a having another democrat president and if a democrat is elected president, then it will be the establishment’s fault for not supporting the People and the people’s candidate, Trump, and instead running a third candidate which will hand the party to the democrat beast. It may also make many of the Trump’s supporters either never vote again or do the truly evil, with a smile on their face and f u on their lips and vote democrat for the rest of their lives. Pay back may be a real B. The establishment has the duty and most likely the ability to act sanely and rationally and pull the party together around the people’s choice, Donald Trump or they can act irrational, unreasonable and hostile and give the election away to the dems, just because the people want someone different then them.
Is tis the same Rupert Murdoch the Trumpbots have been ostracizing for months now.
I’m sure they are all now moving to support Cruz because Murdoch is joined at the hip with the GOPe.
Or will the Trumpbots now tell us that Murdoch is such a great guy?
If Cruz was part of the establishment, why would Murdoch not come out for Cruz instead of Trump?
hey I’m a Cruzer, early voted Tx but I so hate the fact that the GOPe is pulling this crap if in fact Trump wins.
Do they not understand we need to retain the majorities in the House and Senate and approve proper SC justices.
If that’s the way it is then YES the Republican Party truly is dead.
Listen dude, I’m a Cruzer, we all have to understand this all has to do with ratings (especially the rating drops at Fox) make no mistake the bimbo will be more the story than the next debate.
DIDNT THE GOP SIGN A PACT WITH TRUMP WHEN HE SIGNED NOT TO GO INDEPENDENT...THAT THEY WOULD SUPPORT THE NOMINEE...THEY R LIARS AND CHEATERS
I think Murdoch is watching his audience walk out on Fox News and is trying to make peace himself with the GOP base.
He’d be mad not to.
Oh, NOW he says this.
Maggot.
