TV Ratings Saturday: Democratic debate is the smallest of the primaries so far (Ratings down 56%)
TV By The Numbers ^ | 11/15/15 | Rick Porter

Posted on 11/15/2015 9:12:30 AM PST by jimbo123

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.

Look folks, the Obamabot/DNC media vermin can shape this any way they want...but, the real, true fact remains....most Americans could care less about Hillary and the Democrat Party. Obama has destroyed the power and influence of the Democrat Party, country wide...like no Republican could have ever accomplished!!! To be honest, Clinton, Sanders and O’Malley are nothing but pure morons!!! And...to be honest most Republicans (establishment) are in the same family!!! A real political sea change is needed!!!

These drastically low viewer numbers, means Americans, do not take anything serious from what comes out of failed Democrat mouths!!! I can assure you...no matter what the Karl Rove’s & Debbie Wasserman’s rant....the Republican (Conservatives) are really going to slaughter Ms. Clinton and the entire Democrat Party, come, November, 2016!!! Bank on it!!! That debate last night was an insult to “anyone’s” Intelligence!!!

Exactly, what are they debating? Who is the biggest communist?

Turd 1: I’m the biggest commie around.

Turd 2: No, I’m the biggest commie!

Turd 3: you’re both wrong, I can out-commie anyone!

Turd 1: if I become president i’ll prove I’m the biggest commie by having you both killed.

Wrong, moviefan. It was not a dumb movie.

The dems don’t really want a debate because The lyin’ bitch is already their candidate. But, ever since Kennedy vs. Nixon, the public demands debates.

So, we are left with a half-hearted, perfunctory “debate” buried on a Saturday night.

It’s a total sham, just like everything the lyin’ bitch says or does.

Turds 1, 2 & 3: We're going to give all democrat voters free sh$t, and pay for it by taking things from hard working republicans.

"CBS"

And on a channel almost everyone has.

Versus CNBC or Fox Business.

I watched the butt kissing act... I understand why democrats put their debates on nights with few viewers and up against better programming.

Dems don’t want to be seen because they’re crap.

Republican debates are supposed to be on weeknights as prime
time “World Political Entertainment Cage Matches”.

Democrat debates are buried on Saturday nights while everyone is watching sports and movies.

Arlen Specter used to debate his Republican primary opponents on Saturday nights.

Its an incumbent protection tactic to schedule debates on Saturday nights.

I think O’Mallet hangs around until Granny is totally out of danger then he drops out; but Comrade Sanders is living his dream and lapping up all the free foot and ice cream he can eat on the campaign trail. “What could be bad?” right Comrade?

By the same token, there was a pitiful turnout to obamas campaign events in 2012 and yet he won re-election.

I still am not sure I buy that it was an honest vote count...

The media did a lot to promote the Republican debates, especially from rival networks. In conrast, not even CBS promoted much its hosting the D debate. The media only mentioned it in the context of the Iowa football game; never in the context of politics or a horse race.

Actually not a dumb move from the viewpoint of the Democrat establishment. They have already decided upon their nominee but need to maintain the illusion of a fair contest so they had a debate - they just made sure the debate was scheduled in such a way to minimize viewership.

The problem is that Obama won....but that Romney, in fact, threw the election to Obama!!! When romney went whimp with Candy Crowley....millions of conservatives sat on their hands and did not turn out to vote!!!

You folks better learn that lesson real well, cause ya got two choices and only two choices for POTUS....Donald Trump or Ted Cruz Carson & Fiorina are done....and, the rest of the field except for Huckabee & Santorem are Establishment RINO with no backbone!!!

Yes.

I didn’t even know it was on.

I sat though like 15 minutes of the first one. That was enough.

They got what they wanted. No one watched so the Democrat media could push the idea that —Hillary was masterful.—
