RE: Probably because Trump decided to skip this one...
Let’s not forget that the Iowa debate without Trump had higher ratings than the previous debate where Trump participated.
I was obviously making a joke & I’m definitely NOT a Trump guy, but (not comparing apples to oranges or FNC with FBC debates) the previous FNC debate with Trump had higher viewership that the FNC debate that he punked out on.
Comparing Fox News and Fox Business ratings is meaningless.
Fox Business has a much smaller viewer base than Fox News. It’s seen on fewer cable platforms and has always had poorer ratings than FNC.
