Donald Trump's campaign manager predicted that Thursday night's GOP presidential debate on Fox News would only get "about 2 million" viewers because Trump refused to show up. In fact, "Fox News likely had 11 million to 13 million viewers for the debate," CNN's Brian Stelter reports...
Trump said he wouldn't debate on Thursday because Fox News and moderator Megyn Kelly had not been nice to him. Trump instead held a rally and fundraiser for veterans. The leader of one veterans group called the fundraiser a political "stunt." In recent years Trump's charitable foundation has given more money to the Clinton Foundation than it has given to veterans groups.

Complete bullshit.
CNN’s BS estimate is not a rating.
It was a much better debate without the clown.
Liars.
Lying by Omission.
last debate was on Fox Business. Fox Business has a much smaller media foot print then Fox News. Last Fox News debate got 24 MILLION viewers. That Fox News, which reaches many many more households, got virtually the same numbers as Fox Business and barly half of their 24 million of the 1st debate, is an rating disaster for Fox.

And on eve of Iowa, and on more powerful network available in more homes.

Fox News debate draws higher ratings than the last debate, but still second-lowest of the cycle http://hotair.com/?p=3891845
Allahpundit is anti Trump.
This was last debate before first election, it should be on 20-30 millions.. First Fox debate was 22 million.
Uh...last I saw, last night’s debate got worse numbers than all the rest of the GOP debates except for that one that hardly anyone knew about on Fox Business.
So what? It's not as though the ratings turn into poll results, either pre-election polls, or election results.
The last time Trump was on with Fox and Megyn the ratings were 24 million.
The current debate was 12-13 million.
How is that interpreted as the ratings going up?
Last debate was on Fox Business which was harder to watch.
Trumpies and their messiah.
2nd lowest rating. The Fox business debate was lower because the channel is not available on some cable networks.
That can’t be. I heard right here on FR that nobody was watching it.:) Pied Piper Trump supporters will come up with some excuse for it.
Probably, most I know wanted to see what a debate without Trump would look like. Ratings still revolved around Trump.
With or without him, it was the same crap and we got the same bs answers. And that Macy thanksgiving float keeps politicizing 911.
11 million for FBN is big whereas 13 million for Fox News is...lower than some of the Saturday night Dem debates got.
