Every single one of the 12 Democratic presidential town halls held so far in 2019 by CNN lost against simultaneous programming on other cable news networks, as of last Thursday.
The average viewership of CNN’s town halls were approximately 903,000 people. Comparatively, the Fox News programming that was going on while the town halls aired averaged 2.2 million viewers, whereas the MSNBC programming had 1.8 million viewers.
CNN has hosted town halls with the following candidates: California Sen. Kamala Harris, former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders, South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg, Tulsi Gabbard, former Rep. John Delaney, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and Washington Gov. Jay Inslee.
Of those 12, only five – Harris, Schultz, Klobuchar, Sanders, and Warren — garnered more than 1 million viewers, according to Nielsen’s Media Research. Harris’s town hall finished with slightly under 2 million viewers, which was the only one to exceed 1.4 million. Delaney’s town hall had the lowest ratings with under half a million viewers.
Furthermore, MSNBC has hosted one presidential town hall, for Gillibrand, that garnered 1.2 million viewers. Schultz was the first potential presidential candidate to have a town hall on Fox News and it had 1.9 million viewers.
CNN is scheduled to have town halls with former San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, author Marianne Williamson and businessman Andrew Yang later this week.
Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders is scheduled to have a town hall on Fox News next week.
Nobody wants to watch the clown car of Democrat hopefuls? Maybe people would rather watch reruns of Cake Boss, or home remodeling shows on HGTV, than be exposed to the pablum spewing forth from Democrats?????
We watch both those shows!!.....................
LOL, I forgot the Starbucks guy was running.
Apparently so did everybody else...................
CNN was holding Presidential Town Halls?
Who knew?
“Not I,” said the little red hen.
That’s why it takes so long to get thru the TSA checkpoints: Captive Audience................
I have watched many of them dem idea is take money from those that earn it and give to those that dont
Unfortunately you have to add MSNBC and CNN together when you look at these ratings if you want to have an accurate assessment of who’s watching what.
Share holders need to investigate why any honest corporation would waste valuable ad $’s on CNN!
Jay Inslee can light up a stage!/sarc
With what? A candle?.............
I have two better suggestions then watching the Democrats to be each other on the butt kissing net works
1- Watching grass grow
2- Watching snowfall
3- Watching paint dry
4- Watching a stream go by

No surprise; if I wanted to watch communist clowns and what communism is like, I’d watch “The Death of Stalin”.
The DEMON RATS are nothing but communists who hate America and want to destroy the country, and turn it into Venezuela.
No wonder their ratings are so low.
It's the very definition of socialism.
