Do you see that?<br \/>\nMURDOCH: I think it&#8217;s possible. I think the chances are, they will get their act together.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s ridiculous. Consumer confidence is high. There&#8217;s no real unemployment. The economy is booming. And, usually, people will vote according to the hip pocket nerve. And, on that basis, they would be increasing. But, somehow&#8230;<br \/>\nCAVUTO: Why aren&#8217;t they doing that?<br \/>\nMURDOCH: Somehow, the White House is not getting it across to the people that they&#8217;re responsible with their economic policies.<br \/>\nAnd it&#8217;s amazing how well we&#8217;re absorbing the price of oil, which I think speaks tremendously for the efficiency, increasing efficiency, of American industry.<br \/>\nCAVUTO: I would be remiss if, while you were still here, I didn&#8217;t bring up Hillary Clinton. Everyone is talking about this fund-raiser you&#8217;re doing for her.<br \/>\n(LAUGHTER)<br \/>\nCAVUTO: What is going on with that?<br \/>\nMURDOCH: It&#8217;s going to be a very small fund-raiser, people in this building. I hope you will come.<br \/>\nAnd I think she&#8217;s been a good senator. And you know, we don&#8217;t agree on a lot of things, of course. But she&#8217;s going to get reelected here. There&#8217;s no opposition. There&#8217;s no Republican Party in New York state any longer, it would seem.<br \/>\nAnd I think, you know, she&#8217;s doing very well for us and for \u00e2\u20ac\u201d I&#8217;m talking, parochially, for New York state.<br \/>\nCAVUTO: How about as president? Would she make a good president?<br \/>\nMURDOCH: Well, that&#8217;s a different question. I don&#8217;t even know that she&#8217;s going to run.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>*(I wonder what name I should give my readers. Front Burner says, Front Burnians or members of the FB Nation.
