Trump wins Again!
American Idol was on.
Trump just shot Faux News in the street on 6th Avenue!!!
GO.TRUMP.GO!!!
So the lowest ratings had Trump in it?
I’m not aware of exactly how these ratings are measured.
On which station would they have measure the rating for the Trump event? CNN? CSpan?
Weren’t most of the viewers on their computers? Are these numbers taken into consideration?
Shouldn't THIS be the headline?
Trumps new reality show flopped!

"TV Ratings: Fox News Debate Numbers Steady Without Donald Trump"
No one missed Trump. No one cared he wasn't there. The debate was saner without him, and it was a civilized debate for once.
The Trump event was carried live in it’s entirety on OANN and CSpan but this isn’t reflected in the ratings which only include CNN and MSNBC.
Do they really know how many were watching the Trump event? I doubt it.
Couldn’t watch the debate. Was the hand-picked muslim person used to attack someone else?
Debate Without Trump Gets Better Ratings Than Last Debate with Trump

Truth, Justice, and the American Way.
Last night’s debate had more viewers than the debate two weeks ago when The One was there.
How do you explain that?
It all depends on how you define “win”.
The audience for this debate was half of what it was in the previous Fox sponsored debate. That would seem to indicate a Trump win.
The audience for this debate was equal to or a little higher than the other debates (not Fox). That would seem to indicate Trumps no-show had little effect.
Trump’s event had a much smaller audience than the debate. That would seem to indicate a Trump loss.
All three statements are true.
One can surmise the following:
Conservatives watch Fox News more than any other network that hosted any of the debates. It would seem that the last debate before voting starts in conjunction with it being on Fox News should have had huge numbers. It didn’t. Why? Some say the public is suffering from debate fatigue. It could also be that a large percentage of Fox News’ audience agreed with Trump and tuned out.
Trump’s event pulling smaller numbers isn’t particularly a surprise. Most people watch debates like they look at car accidents, a morbid fascination with destruction. They are hoping their guy will do well and that every one else will implode. The Trump event, while for a great cause, wasn’t going to be exciting. It had all the drawing power of a telethon.
In my opinion, Trump won. Fox had lower ratings. People are still talking about him. Trump raised a bunch of money for veterans. Biggest of all, he avoided imploding, which it seems was MK and RM’s goal of the evening.
Fox News’ Trump-less debate Thursday night drew 12.5 million viewers, the second-highest telecast in the network’s history...

fox says it was the best ever.
I wonder who is lying?
I watched about 10 minutes of it.
Rubio came up quite a bit, IMHO.
Cruz gets more slimy, needy, and pompous as time goes by.
Trump/Rubio is my ticket choice now. There’s good balance there: a Northerner and a Southerner; a WASP and a Hispanic; an older man and a younger man; a good businessman (the Donald), and a good executive (Governor experience).
