    Default Saturday night 2016 Democratic debate gets lowest ratings of any debate

    The 2016 Democratic debate on Saturday night got the lowest TV ratings of any debate this cycle, preliminary figures released Sunday showed.


    About 6.71 million viewers tuned into the prime-time debate between Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley, Nielsen data showed, well below all of the other Democratic and Republican debates this year.


    The viewership for the two-hour debate — held on the Saturday night before Christmas and moderated and televised by ABC — had been expected to be low.



    The previous Democratic debate on Nov. 14 in Nevada, which was also held on a Saturday night, drew 8.5 million viewers.


    The three most viewed Republican debates, by comparison, have drawn 25 million, 23 million and 18 million viewers.

    Sanders says DNC’s timing of Saturday night’s debate was meant to ‘protect’ Clinton

    MANCHESTER, N.H. — Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders said in a television interview that the Democratic National Committee deliberately scheduled debates at times when viewership would be low in an effort to “protect” the party’s front-runner, Hillary Clinton.
    The criticism from Sanders followed the third Democratic debate of the 2016 contest, held here on Saturday night, six days before Christmas and at a time of heightened tensions between the Sanders campaign and the DNC over a data-breach controversy.
    Asked whether he thought the timing of Saturday’s debate was intended to hold down viewership, Sanders said: “Yes, I do.”

    It's why Hillary's team wanted it scheduled during that time and why Bernie's team was upset about it.

    Why don't the DNC admit that it is in bed with Hillary and stop wasting everyone's time.

    They totally wanted everybody to watch because they think they got a strong candidate that will win on her merits.
    Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
    - -- Aristotle

    Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
    - -- The Buddha

    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
    - -- Aristotle

    More Americans watched the last Democratic debate than watched the Obama / Clinton debates in 2008...

    you do realize this was intentional on the part of the clintons and the DNC right? They don't want their golden girl to face any sort of challenge, so they stuck the debate during the holiday season when everyone is visiting with people, shopping, and watching the saturday night football game.
