It seems to be a totally normal campaign rally. He’s maybe a little hoarse. There have been several hecklers, but the crowd has no sympathy for them.

So he pooched it on live television when everybody was watching but is acing it on YouTube when nobody is watching. Hooray?

Was everybody watching, really? How did the CNN debate do in the ratings?

Still more than double the average viewers of an NFL game and more than 15 percent of voting age adults in the country

I'm not sure how I've given off the impression that it is more relevant, merely that it is empirically a very large audience, whether or not it was less than four years ago.

Yes the one time event in the middle of summer drew some more viewers than something that happens sixteen times a week during the fall and winter
