We watched on CSPAN.

The same stats generates two different headlines depending upon the author’s bias.

It’s either the second worst numbers or its better than the last one.

Even if Trump was there, I don’t think it would have had good numbers. Those who were interested have made up their mind.

...4:1 is not a good showing for Trump....

Especially when they're mostly Democrats.

I read before the debate that their ratings would be cut by 83%. I bet $40 to FR that it would not. Guess I don’t need to pay up.

Although I’m paying monthly regardless of Trump, Cruz, Kelly and ratings. Feel free to join in, folks!

I watched the debate just to see how bad they attacked Trump...I started watching Trump on CNN but for most of the time, they cut the audio of the rally off and the viewers were forced to listen to Bob Beckett badmouth Trump...The entire program...

It was on at least three channels including the unrated C-Span which has the widest reach of all. It also started 15 minutes after the debate and ended 45 minutes before the debate ended.

Lots of ways to goose the numbers to make Fox look good and let stooges like yourself crow about it.

But only half the viewership of the first FNC debate. Not exactly something to crow about, especially since their sister network, Fox BiZ, reaches 20% fewer households.

Nonetheless, I’m now seriously re-assessing my support for Trump since the FNC debate had slightly more viewers than the the Fox Biz debate.

She looks like a hard edged embittered middle aged woman. Not ageing well at all. Her current greased down, prison chic dyke hairdo, sort of like Jackson Teller’s in “Sons of Anarchy,” certainly doesn’t help her at all.

Definitely is, but it’s coming out as the slicked down Jackson Teller jail bird look.

Ah, here comes the mindless insults from a Trump sniffer such as yourself because I dared to make a comment about the debate figures.

So there was a third channel, CSPAN with an unknown number of viewers.

Now also factor in the normal number of Democrats and airport sitters that watch CNN/MSBNC and CPAN.

I'm thinking that Trump, the guy who is supposed to be leading the pack with a loyal 40% of the voters, cut Fox's rating by about 20%.

That’s what you get for watching the Clinton News Network aka Commie News Network

Lol...pointing out the myriad ways to goose the Fox numbers might seem mindless to some crusty old Cruz queen hard at work doing just that...but not to an objective independent observer.

Trump owned Fox last night.

-btw Using a platform like CNN to reach millions of American travelers who likely stopped to watch Trump host a benefit for veterans for a few minutes on their way home from a long day is just another out of the box example of the way Trump plays the media game.

LOL, I didn't call your two points mindless. Read it again. I simply responded by pointing out a factor that would counterbalance your points. But you read what I wrote incorrectly because you're an emotional, chinless, Rachel Maddowesque, Trump nozzler.

People who watch CNN and MSNBC are mindless Obama supporters. They won't vote for Trump in Nov., they will vote for Hillary.
