Fox News' town hall with President Trump, co-moderated by anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, dominated the 6:30-7:30 p.m. ET time slot on Thursday for both total viewership and the 25-54 age demographic.
Fox News had 4.2 million total viewers and 744,000 in the 25-54 age demographic for Trump's first town hall with the network since the 2016 presidential election. In contrast, MSNBC had 1.4 million total viewers and 239,000 in the 25-54 age demographic during the same time. CNN came in last, with 1 million total viewers and 251,000 in the 25-54 demo, according to Nielsen Media Research.
The streak for Fox News continued during primetime (8:00-11:00 p.m. ET) on Thursday, averaging 3.9 million viewers and 707,000 in A25-54. MSNBC averaged 2.4 million and CNN averaged 1.4 million.
During the town hall, Trump said he was ready to take on Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-VT) when it looked like he was going to be the nominee before Super Tuesday, although admitting it would be a bit tougher to beat him in the November election. After Super Tuesday, former Vice President Joe Biden is now the frontrunner.
Trump was asked about his past criticisms of Supreme Court justices after Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) threatened Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch of "paying the price" if they make the wrong choice in the abortion cases they are deciding on.

When the town hall was aired again at 11:00 P.M.-12 A.M. ET, Fox News netted 2 million total viewers and 422,000 in A25-54, meaning the total viewership for the event was 6,137,000 total viewers and 1,166,000 in the A25-54 demo.
That was the fastest Townhall I have ever seen. It was over way too fast. The crowd loved him.
It was quite the love fest.
Martha McCollum’s stupid follow up question took up way too much time from the audience questions
How does the man never look tired? He is absolutely indefatigable. Hardest working president ever? I’ll say!
Obviously.
Who would want to watch dimbulbcrats with their butt-kissing ill-educated MSM minions on the other cable channels?
(No insult meant to the far superior and infinitely more likable Despicable Me minions.)
First town hall I ever saw where the candidate got a standing ovation.
The first thing you notice about Trump in these kinds of settings is how calm and commanding his presence is. He doesn’t “thoughtfully” think over a question before answering like many a programmed politician does. He answers quickly, and he doesn’t stutter in his responses as we see many people do trying to remember what their advisers told them to say in certain situation. It’s refreshing to watch a competent and confident man at the helm of our country. Ask yourself if Slow Joe could last five minutes in a town hall meeting today without being reduced to a puddle!
“”dominated the 6:30-7:30 p.m. ET time slot on Thursday””
No wonder I couldn’t find it later.. I never saw a time but ASSUMED it would be prime time...
I do love the minions.
Well said
Trump was great. . .the worst were those two media empty-suits, that McCallum and that Howdy Doody look-a-like trying to do it like their fake news idols. Trump was the Peterbilt 18-wheeler and McCallum and Howdy were the smashed bugs on the windshield.
Just in case you missed it entirely, here are all 3 parts in order

Martha looked worn out today on FoxNews.
“How are you going to bring us together?”
What a stupid question. There is no “bringing together” when there are people who get up every day thinking of how they can take our money, our freedom, and our rights.
Trumpie was the General in full command...outstanding!!! Next FNC Town Hall is loser, Bernie Sanders, and then,Loser, Joe Biden!!! Hillary warming up for her last dance along with Michelle Obama as her VP choice!!! Clinton zapped both Sanders and Biden in one fell swoop!!! Stay tuned!!!
I don’t think in my life I’ve ever seen a more natural leader.
He’s just got something so rare.
Amen!
As am mater of fact....I must applaud you on your calling out Bret Boy as “Howdy Doody”!!! You nailed him perfectly. Fact is: both Martha & Bret no longer belong on the set with POTUS, Trump, then I belong on the Moon eating Swiss Cheese!!!
Can you just imagine what Trump will do to Biden in Debate???
Thanks for that. I missed it!
