he has been an embarrassment since he first appeared on the scene many years ago. You are one of the reasons the moron is president.

along with open racism? Afraid that they will just get too disgusted and abandon the wink wink coded racism too? All this overt racism bad for business? Too funny.

... could this be a big deal? Could this signal any kind of change in direction from the top?

If Trump loses Fox he loses a HUGE percentage of his supporters who blindly believe what they are exposed to. Some would literally follow him to hell, because racism feels so good to them, but some are just naive and credulous and simply believe what Fox and Friends tell them is true.

He could maybe win an electoral college vote with 45%, but not with 30%.

Edit: Damn it. It’s from 2015. Crap.

It was on George Conway's tweeter thread TODAY, so he obviously resurrected it in response to Trump's behavior. Most, like me, didn't realize it until a poster pointed it out downstream. Regardless most don't know that Murdoch ever expressed this about Trump so I still am surprised by it.
