Fox News Debate Rises Without Donald Trump, Hits 12.5 Million Viewers

Wait a rock pickin' minute...didn't FNC have 24 million viewers the last time it hosted a debate with the exact same moderators?

C'mon. I watched the debate and enjoyed it. Spinning the debate as a huge ratings success though is pushing it.

If they're going to brag, I suppose it's ok to brag that their ratings were higher than Trump's on CNN at the same time.

Trump's event was carried "live" on the Internet, as well as on CNN, MSNBC, OANN, and C-SPAN.

Aggregating all of those and you come up with a lot of viewers.

Personally, I watched Trump's event on C-SPAN.
