I have not watched any of them and have no idea who is still in the running. Trump is it for me.

Without Trump, no one is watching. Like watching an Indiana Jones movie without Indy. Just Marion.

No surprise.

Who wants to watch a bunch of losers squabble over nothing?

Meh.

Most of the four million probably came to see him.

I wonder how much they had to spend for 4m viewers.

By this point it’s pretty clear none of these people are getting the nomination even if you liked them.

No surprise since it was not cable-accessible. Despite the criticisms, there is a need to be on Fox, ABC, CBS, NBC, or PBS.

You apparently did not watch the debate. Vivek was worst and really should have been escorted off the stage. I am sure everyone would have cheered that move.

Still nearly 40 days until the first votes.

The Republicans need to stick to North Korean state television—that is the kind of objective moderators we need.

Just shows no one but a small minority is going to vote for any of these dwarfs. My apologies to dwarfs.

I saw only highlights

Christie was by far the worst - just an unbelievably huge a-hole. The Trump haters will like him because he hates Trump the most.

DeSantis - who I agree with a lot - came off as whiney. The Trump haters will lie him too.

Haley handled herself well - but she weirdly talks with her teeth clenched and is a war-monger. The Trump haters will like her as well.

That leaves Ramaswamy - a bit irritating but he’s the only one telling the truth about the deep state corruption and the lying media. The Trump haters will despise him for telling the truth.

“4th GOP Debate Draws Paltry 4M Viewers, 68% Down from August”

likely one reason the RNC bailed on any more “official” debates ...

and perhaps the RNC also dimly perceived that a gaggle of loser Lillputians bickering amongst each other on live national TV while the party ignored the rank and file’s overwhelming favorite wasn’t conducive to winning national and state elections ...

Obvious answer....I had trouble even finding where is was broadcast. Almost gave up and it was on some site I’d never heard of.

Oh really? It drew more than the Sean Hannity interview (which was not a townhall, by the way).
