Guess the effort by TRUMP (PRAISE BE TO HIS NAME!) to prove the debate would be worthless without him there fell flat on it’s face!

More hot-air from TRUMP (PRAISE BE TO HIS NAME!)

Right. The highest rated telecast was the first debate with Trump, with more than twice the number of viewers.

And higher rated than the last R debate that the New York liberal participated in!

Pure spin.

Last nights debate was the 2nd lowest rating debate out of 7.

They probably didn’t feel like watching two Cuban guys argue over who gets to come in second. :D

Some of them watched Trump’s Veterans gig last night.

With C-Span’s numbers not readily available, to my knowledge, I don’t know how you account for them all.

Others tuned out.

But last nights ratings winner was the debate. And we know how Trump feels about ratings.

25 million people watched the first Fox debate months ago.

This debate, just before the Iowa vote, was expected to be the highest rated.

But the number of viewers dropped in half.
