It's even been speculated that Trump considers his entire run for president as a stunt to promote his new network.

He'll bankrupt it just as he has nearly every other venture he's made. Then they'll go off the air.

I know it won't happen, but a guy can hope.

Murdoch may be looking for a sale after Ailes left, and Ailes is now allied with Donald Trump. It could happen.

They have already clearly proven what thieves and liars they are.

All they can do is swirl down the tube with the GOP.
