So, my theory of being a back-stabber really fits; seeing as how Rubio had a secret meeting with Ailes, and then Rubio let the information slip out .. in print.

This is exactly what Rubio would do to Cruz .. so people need to get over putting him with Cruz.

I’m glad FOX finally woke up .. but since they have been rooting for only Jeb and Rubio, they have lost almost 50% of their viewers. I’ve heard their coverage of the election has helped them to regain some of it.

I think you are right. Apparently, some at FOX are getting the message that many of us conservatives are on to their GOPe connections.

The Times article did however provide a link to this May 11, 2013 Washington Post article that did measure time devoted to immigraton on the talk shows:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Rubio has worked assiduously to assuage the concerns of the most influential voices, in public appearances and in private phone calls and conversations. He has spoken regularly with people such as Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham to make that case.

His advisers closely monitor how much time these hosts are devoting to immigration, compared to six years ago, and they are heartened that the volume is much diminished, even if some oppose what he is doing. Over the past few weeks, Limbaugh was giving the issue an average of about 12 minutes a day, Hannity 6 minutes, Levin 14 minutes and Ingraham 35 minutes, according to analysis provided by a Rubio adviser.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

It doesn’t burnish the Fox brand much to read that the boss picks a candidate to promote, then gives up on that one and looks for another one. (Though many have suspected such for quite a while.)

Don’t think he would call his boss an a-hole.
Must have been talking to Rubio? Wow...

I don’t trust Fox news...the debate tomorrow night should be revealing. I must admit, though, that I was in shock when Megyn Kelly said that Trump appeared presidential at his press conference.

Makes me wonder if Harry Reid’s nuclear option wasn’t silently approved of by the GOPe.

Trump has 10x the money than all of them combined.
Rubio can’t even get reelected here, let alone take the primary.
Trump will take Florida and the pacs can waste their money as they see fit!

Do you really think he ACTUALLY IS a CONSERVATIVE. Seems to me he votes GOPe...and votes for his own advancement. Did you read the scathing comments Phyllis Schlafly made recently about rubio??

She was his first conservative Senate endorsement and feels totally betrayed.
