Roger Ailes may run Fox News as the official propaganda organ of the neoconservatives who run the Republican Party, but Rupert Murdoch owns it. And when Murdoch publicly states that Jeb Bush and Paul Ryan are on the top of his list for the 2016 presidential election, but that he could vote for Hillary Clinton, depending on the Republican candidate, you know what's going to happen between now and November 2016:
1. Christie is already considered too much "damaged goods," and has lost the support of the monied class.
2. The GOP establishment (plutocrat donor base) will do whatever it takes to buy the nomination for either Jeb Bush (if they can convince him to accept it), or in the alternative, compliant stooge Paul Ryan. Even if neither Jeb nor Ryan can beat Hillary (not likely at this point) they will offer an alternative to her acceptable to the ownership and speculator class. And, of course, Hillary is acceptable to the ownership and speculator class if they can't elect either Jeb or Ryan.
3. Unspoken, but consider anti-union hero Scott Walker (if he can get reelected in Wisconsin) a "dark horse," or a prime VP choice, at least for Jeb.
4. In no uncertain terms, if Rand Paul, Mike Huckabee, or Ted Cruz managed to put one over on their "betters," and steal the nomination, the neoconservative leaders of the Republican Party will do whatever it takes to see they lose the general election. Expect another 1964.
