http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2015/09/murdoch-biden-to-run-and-win-213400"Looks like Biden already running," Murdoch tweeted on Monday evening. "Very likely he wins nomination and be hard to beat."
Another reason to oppose Biden for the Dem nomination. May Biden have a fun and fulfilling retirement.

(12,685 posts)but my money is on Hillary as his VP if Biden would get in and take it. I won't believe Warren as VP unless he announces it upon entering the race. I don't believe the politico article about Biden and Hillary's "awkward" relationship.
Politics is one massive game of manipulation.

(32,886 posts)We already know that 50% of the country won't vote for a self described Socialist. No one has been really pushing that meme yet. When they do, it will be over for Bernie.

(2,707 posts)its self-explanatory. He wants someone with no constituency so the GOP can win.

(1,810 posts)and three or four times the constituency of Sanders. That is using constituency in the manner you presented. Where was Hillary mentioned? lol. CDS is strong. Some can help bet to make negative comments even when she is no where near. lol.

(20,709 posts)And, coming from Murdoch, that means basically nothing. Most likely he is just saying that as an attack on Hillary.

(1,238 posts)Flashback from 06:
Conservative media mogul Rupert Murdoch will host a fundraiser for liberal New York Sen. Hillary Clinton, the Financial Times reports.
The mating ritual of the unlikely allies has been under way for months. Clinton set political tongues to wagging last month by attending a Washington party celebrating the 10th anniversary of Fox News, the cable news channel owned by Murdoch.

Or more recently
Jeb Bush or Hillary Clinton: If either become the president in 2016, Rupert Murdoch would be happy.
The billionaire chairman of News Corp. and 21st Century Fox told Fox Business Network Thursday that former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush would be a very good president.
In April, Murdoch told Fortune magazine, I could live with Hillary as president, noting it would depend on the Republican candidate.

(59,504 posts)As MOST people assume HRC will win the nomination, I would bet there is a long list of right wing people who have said HRC will be the nominee. I could look for that - google is pretty handy and post a thread for each one. However, it is a very poor use of DU and I really have better things to do.
Consider erasing your op.
