Poll: Who won the October 13 Democratic debate?

Fox trashed Trump for 12 straight hours the morning after the Rep. debates. I know. I had it on for 12 hours, and it was the first time I had listened to Fox News it on since 2008 election. The only one who didn’t trash him was (surprisingly) Hannity, but his guests did.

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.

Agreed...

Unless you’re a Democrat. Then the leader is the nearest collectivist who is an expert on economics and can shoot that theory down. /s (most likely a university professorial dolt)

Is there an answer for “I don’t give a rat’s behind?”
