Yesterday, I wrote about the tiny audience for the latest Democrat debate. That was just a prediction. Now we have ratings, and it turns out I was correct. This was the lowest rated debate of all of them so far. It also had an audience that was less than one-third the size of the first debate. The debate was shown on PBS stations and also on CNN. That means that a big chunk of those watching the debate saw it at an airport where CNN pays to have its signal playing. It also means that a big chunk of the viewers got to see the debate but no hear what the candidates were saying.
It's important to keep in mind that we are just over a month from the Iowa caucus and the start of the actual selection of the Democrat nominee. If no one is paying attention to these boring candidates, that says a lot about their likelihood of success.
Look, as I write this, the election is all about Trump. I don't know the exact statistics, but it seems that for every minute there is coverage of some Democrat candidate on TV, there are at least 20 minutes talking about the president. Even the left-leaning media can't be bothered to cover these Democrat candidates.
Who knows; maybe that will change, although I doubt it. None of these Democrats is suddenly going to get interesting.
