The second night of the first Democratic presidential debate beat the record for the highest amount of viewers for a Democratic primary debate.

The Thursday debate, which featured leading candidates former Vice President Joe Biden, Sens. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Kamala Harris of California, and Mayor Pete Buttigieg or South Bend, Indiana, averaged 18.1 million viewers across NBC News, MSNBC, and Telemundo, according to Nielsen Fast National Data.

The figure beat the 15.5 million viewership record set during the 2016 election.

The debate brought in 5.4 million viewers in the key 25-to-54 key demographic age group, which was also a record, and 9 million people tuned in to the livestream.

The numbers were up from the Wednesday debate, which averaged 15.3 million viewers.

Morning Joe isn't going to want to hear that.

Still pales in comparison to the GOP '16 debate viewership @ 24 million!

With that train wreck you would have thought they would of had a 50 share.  Oh and Morning Joe is starting to remind me of Howard Beale.  I swear I thought he was going to say "I'm mad a hell and I'm not going to take it anymore".

He was right but he didn't know about the shit storm that was coming up behind TV.....   The Internet and Google!

It's still the media.  the medium may have changed, but it's all still owned by conglomerates.

Well, clowns are generally entertaining.

 This was the story of Howard Beale: The first known instance of a man who was killed because he had lousy ratings.

We need more of that.

I believe the Harris woman can win in a debate with Trump.  She has many years of being an attorney in front of a jury and running the whole state of California as their State Attorney General.  She has spoken "gobs" of times to audiences and won every election when she ran for an office. She does know the "best words" and puts them together in meaningful sentences.  She is thinking every moment, not fearful, not nervous, of the audience.  She will be prepared to the max as she was last night.

Perhaps she will not be the candidate, but I think she is the best to get through a debate with Trump.  He will have to give her a disgusting name as he does everyone, but she may come back giving him a name that shuts him up.  "Old Trump" is one that would make him furious.

And I bet you just can't wait to vote for her.

Proving that the people are yearning for the competency vision and decorum
that the Democratic candidates bring.

Kamaltoe is going to tear through the rest of the can'tidates like a roto-rooter. She's cold, calculating, has good writers, and could take the gold medal in the prevarication Olympics.

Indeed.
And that's why you seldom see it aired today.

@dfwgator

I knew someone would say that, so you did.  Stating facts/evaluating behavior is non-political.  Harris has her act together, that is a fact.  If I state a fact about how well another candidate does, then you can say I am voting for that one.  If I state a fact a candidate did not do well, you can say I hate that person.  Sorry you can't tell the difference between evaluation of behavior and politics.
