Had zero to do with him not winning a single primary.  Fox News doesn't have the power to create or eliminate a legitimate presidential candidate.  His problems are much deeper than Fox News.  He doesn't have the charisma or public persona to win a presidential election.  He comes across as whiny when he debates.  He doesn't appear very likeable.  His delivery when making speeches is not very good.  I know that is all about form over substance, but form over substance is what is largely responsible for our current president.  If he could give speeches like Obama he would have done much better.     

It's both true and sad.  This is the MTV society.  You got to sing well, entertain AND look good.

Did they go out of their to make Obama look bad too?
In the primary?  They wanted Hillary to win.  It was generally accepted among thinkers on the right that Hillary would be the easiest to beat.  So yea, they wanted Hillary to win the nomination.  And What?

Then they are really not that powerful.  Not powerful enough to decide a primary.  The may have not liked RP, but RP wasn't news making either.

you're talking about the dem nomination.  Dems don't flock to Fox News, certainly not to get their news and views.  Of course Fox would have more influence over the republicans.  Hard to believe you actually just said this lol...

Still holds true.  Aside from that, isn't it the top rated news?

Top rated for who? I guess we have to agree to disagree.  I can't fathom the number of dems tuning into Fox for serious news and views is all that high infact from every experience I've have it has got to be downright low imo.  I'm quite sure the number of republicans that take Fox serious is much much higher.  They clearly imo have a much better chance at affecting a republican's chances than a dem.
