Donald Trump Joins CNN’s Democratic Debate Via Live Tweets – Update

Deadline Hollywood ^ | October 13, 2015 | Lisa de Moraes

Donald Trump handed CNN a ratings gift very early this morning – and another reason to demand that CNN pay him – when he announced he will live tweet the network’s Democratic debate tonight.

News of the GOP front-runner’s plans had pundits adjusting upwards their ratings forecasts for tonight’s debate. Yesterday conventional wisdom had the debate clocking in at 8-million-ish, mirroring Dem debates’ best numbers in the last presidential election cycle. This morning, the 12-15M-ish forecast yesterday by one or two media navel lint gazers...

Leave it to The Donald to transfer the spotlight over to him. Good job.

I will be following Trump on twitter and looking at his facebook account also....

If the networks think we are going to waste our time watching them, they are wrong, we are going to be on twitter and tweet with ‘The Donald’ and to busy watching what they have got going on....much more exciting and more truthful anyways....

Now I know he really is crazy and possibly a Russian mole - a sane loyal American would be watching baseball.

I’m TV challenged ... is it live fed on the internet ?

I’ll probably watch too.

In the spirit of Sun Tzu.

[hoosiermama]

He should have some influence in equal distribution of percentage points to candidates other than HRC.

Sort of like a shotgun filled with birdshot in a pack of coyotes. Lots of yelping will follow.

Too many people are obtuse in their thought processes

You’ve got to give him credit. He’s better than the professional cons promoting candidates.

[conservatism_IS_compassion]

Will there be a live thread?

[catbertz]

We really haven’t seen a candidate with this much chutzpah and influence in my lifetime at least. I’m starting to feel astounded.

[JudyinCanada]

Hoping so! I may watch the debate if I can follow The Donald’s commentary.

[DoughtyOne]

I won’t be watching the debate, but I think the Trump twitter feed should be a real hoot.

Words not to drink on:

Drink on:

I’m going to be the spoiler here. Trump is going to double the CNN viewership, and make CNN gobs of money.

BAD move, Donald. Maybe your first.

[tflabo]

I say good— let CNN get a Trump boost- they will give him more free ad time. More chances to convert a few more morons into somewhat enlightened Trumpeteer voters. Much to the disdain of our own Nick Carraway... but hey we love the rascal Nick.

[DoughtyOne]

You could be right. We’ll see.

I can see that impacting viewership. I hope it doesn’t.

If the viewership is down, he could say that he even tried to help, but nobody wanted to watch Hillary.

[Paladin2]

Trump doesn’t get a cut of the media buys....

[stephenjohnbanker]

I don’t really believe it will matter a hoot anyway. Trump will be the next POTUS, barring an unforseeable, extraordinary event.

I just hate to see CNN double their revenues. Evil ba$tards!
