TV By The Numbers ^ | 11/15/15 | Rick Porter

A Democratic Party presidential debate on CBS drew the smallest audience thus far among the series of primary debates - not much surprise given its Saturday-night slot. It scored a 1.5 rating in adults 18-49 and 7.22 million viewers. By comparison, the first Democratic debate on CNN in October brought in a 3.4 rating and more than 15 million viewers.

It's perfunctory. Hillary will be the nominee. At some point O’Malley will drop out and endorse Hillary. Sanders may stay till the end.

How many watched a few minutes and fell asleep, broke their TV with a heavy object or got sick and had to go puke?

That is 2x the number I would have thought. I figured more in the range of 3500.

I had the video [muted] on for a while, but there were too many other things to watch — OU-Baylor, Arkansas-LSU, Doctor Who, and Dallas Stars hockey.

The debate was about who could tell the biggest whopper. Based on that Hillary won.

“How many watched a few minutes and fell asleep, broke their TV with a heavy object or got sick and had to go puke?”

I did what someone else suggested yesterday and went out and “picked up” after thd dog.” I found “value” in that exercise, and my TV remains in tact.

I didn’t watch it.

Why hold it on a Saturday night?

Dumb move.

People are out of the house if they have extra money to spend. There are sporting events on the television. These are two of the many distractions on a Saturday night.

I watched about 40-45 minutes and actually felt pretty good about 2016. The obviously still don’t get it about ISLAMIC terrorism and inviting ISLAMIC terrorist refugees in.

What I also realized it that Sanders is promising $trillions in free crap that the others don’t really seem that eager to enthusiastically support. When Sanders drops out, the leaches will be mad and discouraged.

What is really telling about the numbers, compare it to any of the Republican debates.

Republican debates are setting record numbers of viewers. I believe most people WANT a new direction and they WANT to see what candidate x, y or z has to offer.(look at the polling of independents and democrats who are watching)

On the Democrat side, numbers are low. Those tuning in are more than likely democrat button pushers no matter who is on the ballot or what they espouse.
The low numbers show the lack of energy the candidates infuse and it shows the lack of interest the voters have. (Not just for the candidates, but for the election process itself)

In the end, the Republican debates are front and center to expose the ideas and flaws of each candidate. The Democrats are in the back, to hide their ideas and flaws.

In the end, the 2 parties will have to confront each other. I believe either Cruz or Trump will go against Hillary. Hillary can't think on her feet. She will have no tempering from previous challenging. She'll have the media on her side, but I think both Trump and Cruz are proving they can bypass the media.

Hillary MAYBE "shining" in the Democrat debates, but she and they are being lobbed softballs.

Hillary is having a hard enough time playing with softballs. What will she do when Trump or Cruz start throwing hand grenades?

The Clinton/DNC/REVCOM cabal will not be happy with those numbers. They didn’t want anybody to watch.

It was a brilliant idea holding the demo love-fest during the Baylor-Oklahoma game. That ensured that few, if any sane individuals actually watched.

**************************************************

Which is precisely why the RNC is doing everything they can to thwart the will of the people and stick them with Yeb!
They want their voters as dejected as the Democrats are for Hillary.
They do not want any grenade throwers.

After watching and analysing the last two nominations, it seems the RNC can nominate any Designated Loser they choose to.

The most importatnt thing to the RNC is delivering the amnesty candidate they owe to the Cheap Labor Express
