With only five candidates on stage Tuesday night, the presidential candidates had plenty of time to speak compared with the more crowded GOP debates — but it wasn't equal time.

Clinton: 30 min 25 sec
Sanders: 27 min 41 sec
O'Malley: 17 min 08 sec
Webb: 15 min 20 sec
Chafee: 9 min 05 sec

Bernie Sanders USA, Mrs. Bill Clinton USA

Communism (rabid Socialism) has never worked before, but Sanders and Mrs. Clinton are here to assure you it can.
Nevermind that Capitalism caused the United States to become second to none, where Communism failed to even
provide a decent society anywhere it has been tried.

Communism / Socialism cost over 100 million lives last century.  Why not give it another chance...  /S
Perhaps others want to sacrifice their nation and families on that alter.  I don't.

She answered as if she had them memorized

She did. Especially when they attacked her, notice how she ran behind Obama's skirt when criticized for her horrible foreign policy record....that was pre-planned.

Trump's Effect on Debate Viewership

It's nearly impossible to quantify some things in life.  Why people tune into debates is probably one of them.

What we do know for sure, is that the first Repubican debate this year set the record for the most watched debate in history.  24 million viewers tuned in.

No we've seen the Democrat debate viewship numbers, and they came in at 15.3 millon.  That is 46.25% less than the Republican debate.

One statistic that hasn't been mentioned much is this one.  The highest viewership in the 2011-12 debates was 5% of U. S. households.  The first Trump debate in 2015 was viewed in 16% of U. S. households.

People who try to tell you Trump won't do well against Democrats will have a tough time explaining how he just did do well against them.

He not only trippled the 2011-12 viewership of his own party, but came in at 156.9% over that of the Democrat viewership in this one.

Trump is a one man phenominon.  He pulls in 10, 20, and 30 thousand people at his apperances while others pull in 10, 20, and 30 hundreds.

It is reasoned to think he is the big draw this year.  Lucky for us, he agrees with our agenda.

And you can bet your bottom dollar that even though he’s lower in the polls that Yeb! will get a lot of speaking time at the trick or treat debate on October 28th.
