US Politics II To Trump or not to Trump

Steve Scully (C-SPAN) has been suspended after admitting to lying about his anti-Trump tweet.

Scully was to be the “Objective” moderator for the second debate.

The Ming defense.

Hopefully Tucker will set the world straight

Both Biden and Trump have town hall meetings at the same time so nobody will be watching Tucker.

Trump getting wound up badly here

Trump only adding fuel to his tax issues there

That Savannah Guthrie is being very aggressive towards the president on NBC.

Meanwhile, Biden is over on CEEBIES

Trump is having a mare alright, the drugs don’t work

I thought the moderator came off badly. She would not let the President answer a question at the start.

She must have been asked to tone it down. But the President is going well now.

Strong finish

The pressure clearly getting to the POTUS, haven’t seen him so highly strung in a long time

SJ starting to doze off here

‘It’s very straight’

President Trump may have guaranteed his re-election tonight.

The most important questions he answered were from the voters, and he answered them well.

A very biased moderator (they don’t even try to hide it anymore) threw everything she could at him, and still came out on the losing side.

The interviewer is completely wrong here. Donald Trump is somebody’s crazy uncle.

Biden wins early ratings game against Trump

The early numbers from last night’s dueling town halls are in, and the president will not be happy.

According to the early figures, Joe Biden ’s ABC News town hall drew 2.3 million more viewers than Trump ’s NBC News town hall.

Variety reports:

Biden drew 12.7 million total viewers on the Disney-owned network, while Trump drew 10.4 million in the same 9-10 p.m. time slot on NBC. Across the entire runtime, the Biden town hall averaged 12.3 million viewers. In terms of the fast national 18-49 demographic, Biden is comfortably on top with a 2.6 rating to Trump’s 1.7.

The official ratings from last night will be available later today, but there were already some signs that Biden’s event was attracting more interest, as the ABC telecast saw higher viewership numbers on YouTube.

The numbers will likely frustrate the famously ratings-focused president, who reportedly told aides that he wanted to counter-program Biden to get better ratings and then use them to humiliate his Democratic rival.

Trump knows ratings.
