the headline as written was a total lie, trying to leave the impression that the 2nd (July) debate had higher ratings than the first debate in June.

Nothing could be further from the truth. In point of fact, ratings totally cratered for the second (July) debate compared to the first (June) debate, dropping by an astonishing 43%

At this rate, there won't be anyone watching after a few more of these "debates" ...

03.16568% of population of the U. S. bothered to tune in.

96.83432% didn’t.

I wonder if there’s a message in there somewhere.

Yes. It’s summer, and there’s too many damn candidates in the debates.

I suspect it’s at least partially because all those candidates have already been dismissed.

The worst Columbo episode/movie is better than 99% of what is shown on TV today.

Most of the viewers must have been waiting for connecting flights.

Well, I figure that Gretchen Corbett never disappoints, whether on “Columbo” or all of those “Rockford” episodes.

Truth be known both CNN and the Democrat Party 2020 POTUS debates, all four of them have been total failures. Just remember folks the current population of the USA is now at least 330,000,000 people...probably more. the number of TV viewers that CNN attracted for these four Debates was dismal no matter how you look at it.

The vast majority of the American people have a “ho-hum” attitude of “who cares” about the Democrat “Traitor” Party, scum and vermin deadbeats, Including the “Obama Low Lifes being offered to the American people as serious candidates for POTUS...which not one of them, not one, is qualified, competent or capable of doing the POTUS job...period!!!

You all should realize that the four CNN POTUS debates attracted no more them 3-4% of the total USA population at any time, a most horrible bottom line!!! Both CNN & The Democrat Party are in their self-created political death throes!!! Unless something drastic happens or we get a new bunch of Democrat candidates running for POTUS, POTUS, Donald J. Trump will be re-elected in a massive landslide victory. With this group of misfit, twisted sister, nutcases now running as Democrat candidates. This POTUS gig election is over. Trump wins easy and hands down!!!

Fox’s very first debate of the season, featuring Trump’s now-famous clash with co-moderator Megyn Kelly on August 6, 2015, attracted 24 million viewers.

Peter Falk was a great actor who never seemed to take himself seriously. He made it all seem as easy as eating pie.
