NewsCorp Chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch used Twitter to weigh in on last night’s Republican debate on the Fox Business Network, giving the nod to Sen Marco Rubio, while praising other candidates, including N.J. Gov. Chris Christie in the undercard debate.
Undercard debate, all did better than expected, but Chris Christie seemed in different class. Possible to see as Chief Executive.

As for the main affair, Murdoch Tweeted:
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

The billionaire then elaborated a bit the next day.
Second thoughts! Kasich, Cruz talked nonsense on banking, Trump likewise on immigration. Fiorina best prepared. Maybe great at State Dept.
