This is incredibly obvious but it’s stated this way because a more honest headline would be uninteresting. The last time there was a serious Republican primary was 2015.
So they’re saying debate ratings are lower than the last time there wasn’t an obvious front runner. Yeah, no shit cnbc. Good job.
Yeah, the better question is - whose actually watching? Trump is obviously going to be the nominee unless he’s literally forced off the ballot, and if that happens it’s just going to be chaos because I guarentee he’s just going to continue running as a write in candidate
whats to watch. a bunch of un-empathetic sycophants pretending to have a platform or relevance to an audience already “not votin for a lib”
It’s Republicans debating against each other? Like aren’t they all the same?
“I’m a piece of shit.”
“No I’m a piece of shit!”
“Heh… that’s cute. I’m the biggest piece of shit.”
rapturous applause
Narrator: The audience was the biggest piece of shit, after all…
Listen to the difference between their opinions on Ukraine
Holy shit some of those are comedy gold! These assholes are on the same team which makes it even more funny!
I only got the Chris Christie clip. Are there supposed to be more?
Here’s another candidate:

That is kind of a good point tho? Why are we ridiculing this person/debate (I’m not familiar all) based on this video?
They’re all racist, misogynistic, homophobic, transphobic, and antisemitic, just in different orders.
Couldn’t watch it without a cable subscription or signing up for a streaming service. That’s probably at least part of it.

It means the people voting republican already know everything they need to know because of their top secret source on youtube with 13.4 million subscribers.
Linus tech tips?
Shhh
I mean, they have nothing interesting to say, no policies to discuss, and are a black hole of charisma.
That last part is all that really matters in this case. None of them can make their insanity interesting to watch without the reality TV star around.
There was a second Republican primary debate?
FR, first I’ve heard of it.
But didn’t they watch in the hopes that Vivek would spit out some rhymes? Vivek rhymes with cake, you know.
[…] lowest viewership since 2015
Hasn’t there only been one other debate since then…? That’s rather misleading.
Probably looking at all republican debates since 2015. In short, the lowest its been since Trump.

Why would you want to watch? They’re all a bunch of losers and one worse than the next. They’re the current failures that rose to the top.
None have compelling arguments or solutions and are only there to shitsling each other. Even monkeys at the zoo are smarter.

Who wants to watch a bunch of mentally ill psychopaths talk over each other? I sure don’t.
To the most of the world, they are “mentally ill psychopaths”, but to their rabid supporters, they can do no wrong. They will still watch them, cheer them on, and support them and vote for them…

I’d think about the same amount as previous debates.
None of the candidates are compelling or inspirational. At least Biden is good at the job and gets things done. He’s fine and competent. All I see on the Republican side are idiots yelling with no solutions or answers. I don’t even think the Republicans could be that bad if they could just get their shit together and actually try to do something for regular folks. People don’t get elevated with Republicans, they get stepped on.
fine and competent.
He can’t even read a teleprompter. I think he’s a better option than Trump, but jesus. He’s a decrepit old man.
So in other words, lower than the ones in 2019?
Was there a repugnican debate in 2019?
You’re right, there wasn’t. I didn’t read the article at first since I thought the title was clickbait, but it seems like they’re actually saying the ratings were lower than any debate in 2015 or later. They just phrased it in a confusing way.

What a surprise? Why would anyone watch when the front runner isint even going to be there.
