Compared to the first Clinton-Trump debate in 2016 when 84 million people watched, less than 74 million watched the horrible debate where Trump tried to obliterate Biden through his trademark, abusive style, but ended up shooting himself in the foot. That represented a 13 percent decline from that first 2016 Clinton-Trump encounter.
This would suggest that more folks are tired of the “Clown” as Biden so aptly names his demented opponent. This also reflects that people have become less dependent on the TV network, get more of their news on line than just four years ago.
Typically, the presidential debates are among the most-watched telecasts of the year, falling in the same category of the Super Bowl, with about 100 million viewers, or election night, which in 2016 gathered a 71 million audience.
All of 17.8 million of hard-core Republicans and Trumpists, generally older people, watched religiously on Fox News, their only source for information they believe in.
Will the two other scheduled debate take place? That’s an open question as Trump might not like some of the new rules concocted by the Commission on Presidential Debates, and chose to not participate.
This would be fine with me as he has proved that he wasn’t intellectually able to debate, just interrupt and scream insults.
