RE: Some here were predicting a mere 3 million viewers.
Who was?

The 3 million was silly. Nevertheless, the ratings for the Dems didn't even come close to the first Republican debate, or the second either. A difference of 9 million is quite a lot. At a time when elections are won or lost by less than 1% sometimes, that difference in ratings/enthusiasm could translate into voter turnout.

Trump announced he would live-tweet the debate. I have a sinking suspicion that is what drove the ratings. It’s still 9 million people less than the Republican debates, by the way.

15.3 million democrats tuned in? UNPossible! Democrats aren’t smart enough to count above 10, so how did they even find the channel?

Trump's Effect on Debate Viewership
It's nearly impossible to quantify some things in life. Why people tune into debates is probably one of them.
What we do know for sure, is that the first Repubican debate this year set the record for the most watched debate in history. 24 million viewers tuned in.
No we've seen the Democrat debate viewship numbers, and they came in at 15.3 millon. That is 46.25% less than the Republican debate.
One statistic that hasn't been mentioned much is this one. The highest viewership in the 2011-12 debates was 5% of U. S. households. The first Trump debate in 2015 was viewed in 16% of U. S. households.
People who try to tell you Trump won't do well against Democrats will have a tough time explaining how he just did do well against them.
He not only trippled the 2011-12 viewership of his own party, but came in at 156.9% over that of the Democrat viewership in this one.
Trump is a one man phenominon. He pulls in 10, 20, and 30 thousand people at his apperances while others pull in 10, 20, and 30 hundreds.
It is reasoned to think he is the big draw this year. Lucky for us, he agrees with our agenda.

Ashleigh Banfield bragged on-air this morning that her network’s debate drew “a higher number than the season premiere of The Walking Dead.”
Apt analogy Ashleigh!

Viewership doesn’t necessarily reflect party affiliation. Just consider the garbage folks regularly tune-in to.
