Really? 11 million viewers is a debate record? Heck, nearly 23 million people tuned in to the three-hour GOP debate in September.
Record for a dem debate. But yeah, the GOP got what... 23 million on CNN and 24 million on FOX ? Setting records wherever they go. Because the GOP is so "irrelevant" as they say.
Trump gained 60,000 twitter followers during the Democrat debate, followed by Sanders 28,000. Did Trump win the Democrat debate?
Probably has more to do with the fact that in regards to television, I'd guess many liberals and progressives have turned away from Television as a news medium. When I talk to my friends many of them are like me, they turned off cable a while ago. I'll get mine via a website, streaming video services or listen to it later on a podcast. I'd hazard a solid guess that this is why Fox can crow about those record viewer ratings they get. They are false in a big way, just like the Mitt Romney landslide they tried to predict. All smoke and mirrors. Televised debates are going the way of the dinosaur.
I didn't watch them. I'd rather watch them a bit at a time. There are plenty of places to watch them at your convenience. The record that was set was the most concurrent streaming feeds. Don't think that's impressive? The Superbowl live stream garnered 1.3 million.
The ratings would be something for the Democrats to boast about since there was competition with the MLB playoff games that night.
