Ratings crash for Dem presidential debates -- CNN hardest hit

Two conclusions leap out from the ratings of televised presidential debates:

- the viewing public is already tiring of the Democrats’ presidential field;

- the viewing public doesn’t trust and doesn’t want to watch CNN – even when it is televising live events.

Writing at Breitbart, John Nolte gathers and analyzes the ratings data. Here is the data on the four 2019 Democrat presidential debates in sequnce:

First debate (on CNN)

In June, the first Democrat debate of the year, hosted by NBC, MSNBC, and Telemundo, drew 15.3 million viewers on night one and 18.1 million viewers on night two, for an average of 16.7 million.

Back in July, far-left CNN hosted the second debate of the year, a two-night event that drew 8.7 million and 10.7 million viewers, for an average of 9.7 million.

Third debate (on ABC)

14 million

Fourth Debate (on CNN)

CNN’s Tuesday night Democrat debate drew only 8.3 million viewers

It is clear that overall the trend is down, but that the third debate on ABC spiked up a bit from the previous debate on CNN, only to see the fourth debate on CNN continue the ratings decline. The third ABC debate was still down from the first CNN debate, but below the first CNN debate.

While it is true that ABC reaches households that do not subscribe to cable or satellite television, that difference is not enough to account for the entire differential. And previous presidential debates on cable channels have far outdrawn ABC’s current ratings. For instance:

Simple...ladies & Gentlemen.....every announced, active Democrat Party, 2020 POTUS, Candidate sucks!!! They are all going nowhere but sinking into the deep swamp...Trumpie wins in a massive landslide victory....Case closed,....Game over!!!

The recent debate was an insult to any American’s intelligence...period. That is why the horrific low 8.7 million number of folks tuned in is a dismal failure!!! (Reminder, Trumpie draws 25,000,000 people for his debates and 52,000 people to his rallies). Joe Biden draws 58 people to his rallies.

Dems if ya all wanna survive politically, ya better dump Pelosi, Schiff & Nadler like right now...today!!!
