On the West Coast, the ABC town hall was broadcast live at 5:00 pm PDT, while the NBC town hall was delayed broadcast by NBC at 8:00 pm PDT. Many people did not wait to watch the NBC delayed broadcast and instead watched it on the Internet. As such, TV ratings are meaningless.
I find it interesting that both town halls had relatively low viewership. In fact, based on the numbers I saw, it seems Tucker had about the same number of TV viewers as the two town halls combined!
As I see it Tucker split Republican viewers... people who knew they were voting for Trump but wanted to see more about Hunter’s pay for play shakedowns - watched Tucker.
I doubt any democrats watched Tucker. So Biden got the dem audience - Trump got half the Republicans... I taped both debates and taped Tucker’w rerun at midnight. So, everyone got ‘one’ from me.
