Ratings Tell The Story

The ratings for the Democrats debate last night show that just over 7 million people watched at least some of the gabfest.  That's awful.  At 8 last night, NCIS drew nearly 11 million on CBS and the Jeopardy Greatest of All Time special drew nearly 14 million.  Seven million people means that about 2% of the country watched the debate.

To put this in context, the first debate among Republicans in 2016 had an audience of over 25 million.  To be fair, no one in his or her right mind would want to watch Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren argue over whether or not Bernie told her two years ago that a woman couldn't win the presidency.  Even fewer people would ever want to listen to Joe Biden ramble incoherently on any subject, so the low rating is not such a surprise.

These ratings should tell the Dems that basically no one cares what they have to say.
