"Rupert Murdoch ‏@rupertmurdoch 2h2 hours ago

Great debate. All did well, Carson, Bush, others did well, perhaps Rubio best of all. With all doing well Trump did not stand out like past"

"45 minutes prior to the end of the Republican debate the owner of Fox Broadcasting and Wall Street Journal, Rupert Murdoch, tweeted this out:

It would appear the Wall Street goal

to use Marco Rubio as a vessel toward a GOPe nominee delivering a Clinton/Bush ticket is clearly underway."...

Comment: Since the owner of Fox News and Wall St. Journal decides who wins presidential debates, and therefore who becomes the GOP nominee, why not cancel the primaries?

10/12/15, "Is it True Donald Trump Cannot Win the Presidency?" NY Times, David Leonhard

"No modern candidate has received a major-party nomination — and perhaps no candidate in American history — while being opposed by the party’s elites: donors, media figures, politicians and others.

Elite support matters because they have the ability to shape public opinion through endorsements, public criticism and other means....

What’s fascinating about Mr. Trump is that he has, if anything, endured harsher criticism, and yet he has also remained atop the polls for longer."...
