People were wondering how many people were tuned into the Fox Business RNC debate, the second GOP primary debate without Donald Trump. The answers are in per an NBC review of Nielsen ratings.
Approximately 9.3 million people tuned in to watch the debate on Fox, Fox Business and Univision. That’s a drop of 27% from the first debate which had 12.8 million viewers.
[…] Even though it was broadcast on Fox Business Network, Fox News Channel and Univision, it still attracted roughly 3.4 million fewer viewers than the first GOP debate just one month ago, which was hosted by the Fox News Channel. That’s a decline of 27%. By contrast, the decline between the first and second debates of the 2016 cycle — both of which featured Trump — was just 4%. (link)
they should call it “the kiddie table” debate.
The GOPe, RINOs, big money backers, Faux, etc can buff, polish, and Turtle Wax these turds until election day it won’t matter to true patriots who love this country.
Those same people would rather go out in the morning and pick up Fido’s fresh hot steamy lawn sausage and put it in a Walmart bag than vote for one of these losers.
👍 Thoroughly enjoyed the “Turtle Wax” turn of phrase.
It’s the little things.
Yep
The kiddie table is more civilized
That is what we called them in 2015-16.
I am so glad! And, so glad I didn’t watch!
Send FOX under!
Is there still a FOX news channel? Thought it died in 2020 when it called the race for the Demented Fraud before the polls were closed
That’s when it died for me and it will remain that way!
Same here – turned it off that night and have not watched it since. Brett could barely contain his excitement and I could barely contain my cold anger.
Did you see the clip of Dana Perino introducing Hillary Clinton a week ago at some event for the Clinton Global Initiative. Perino introduced Shrillary as “the amazing Secretary.” Canada Free Press has the article and video.🤢🤮
I don’t know who wrote that blurb on the nation being in the mood for a populist but it sounds like an early version of Sundance! 43 years ago!
And yes, yes we are in the mood for a change!
Will there even be a third First-Loser debate at this point? 🤣😂🤣. 💥🇺🇸TRUMP 2024🇺🇸💥
They are all seeking what they claim to despise. A trophy!
Participation trophies would be keeping with current trends.
Let them have the cheap junk from China.
But LOSER trophies are now all the rage!
Yep. And money or gigs as “commentators” on cable TV
Would that be the third loser? Or has anyone come in last twice yet? I am confused…
First losers (a fixed descriptor) are in each of the series of debates – first, second, awaiting third. None of those first losers is/are capacitated to compete with our MAGA Winning Trump.
If there is a third, it will be because the GOPe thinks that it will somehow damage Trump during the general. I think that it’s 50-50 that they realize a third debate where Trump wins again by not showing up, will have the opposite effect from what they are hoping…
I see advertising fee reductions and cancellations in Fox’s future and declining stock value.
He he he he he
Please clap… (I’ll give you a case of Bud Lite, if you do).
Sincerely,
Rupert Murdoch

I love this so much
THE DAILY MAIL ??!!!
This is an amazing headline for them!!!
The best comment after the the unwatchable half-Spanish/event: Trump – telling the GOP – stop wasting money on worthless debates and spend it on defeating Biden instead … LOL !!!
Interesting, In the picture, Christie is leaning on the podium like the fat, lazy slob that he is and Ramaslamajama is gesticulating with those manicured (read: never done any real work in his life) hands as usual.
I wonder if there’s a fly buzzing around Pence?
Shouldn’t some of these bozos start dropping by the wayside?
I thought that was the purpose of the debates, to thin the herd.
I think the flies are booked triple-time for Biden.
They’re all hat and no cattle!
27% fewer pretenders is a good start. You cannot fight an illegitimate system by participating in it.
27% is not enough.
People haven’t figured out yet that the “debate” was nothing more than the Government Party mocking America. They think this is a joke because they know elections are a joke.
They’re not debating.
They’re laughing at everyone.
I tuned in a the beginning or so and tune out very shortly after. Same bull shit statements. Has it really come to this ?
Trump was smart to avoid the the BS.
President Trump….de nada
I think the only people watching are the uniparty loyalists. There isnt one person there that sends the proverbial tingle up may leg.
BTW, was that the last one?
That’s a shame.
I didn’t watch. They are just competing for FIRST LOSER.
Dana Perino shows her true colors just the week before.
https://www.dossier.today/p/fox-news-moderator-hosted-panel-at
Dana PeRINO is a Bushie and a Murdock FUX suck.
Perino really should go to CNN where she can huckster for Rove & the Bush family without losing more viewers there at FAUX.
The coup continues
This was always my worst case Big Ugly scenario…
Knowing we know is not going to make the Fraud Cabal stop their abuses.
Even if Trump can get elected, and we all know what is coming to stop him, that is the EASY part.
What comes next – the purge – is going to be all out war.
This isnt dirty politics. This is tyranny and the end of Liberty.
“This is tyranny and the end of Liberty.”
Yes, this is where we are now.
“The illusion of freedom will continue as long as it’s profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater.” ― Frank Zappa
So true.
No question about it. People like me have been saying for years that you can’t vote your way out of this.
This year and next are about destroying the status quo. That’s KEY. The status quo lets people live in the fantasy land of debates and primaries and polling. All of that stuff is a fraud. Or, at most, the Government Party measuring the size of the dissident party. A dissident party they are GROWING.
The end of the status quo means people have no choice but to see things as they are. They’re going to notice their neighbors being arrested and killed by the FBI. Not one or two, but tens of thousands.
Once the status quo is destroyed, its like mixing a deck of cards. You can’t predict what comes next. Neither side can, and that evens up the odds.
It also allows the normies to understand that their government is evil.
If Trump prevails in 2024, the GOP is dead. If Trump is prevented from running – and the Republicans are helping with this – the GOP is dead.
Either way, the Government Party has no need for a controlled opposition party that commands NO POPULAR SUPPORT.
When I see 60-70-80% support for Trump, I see the largest dissident party in world history. At that point, all bets are off because the government party status quo – their economic business model – will no longer exist.
A dissident party will be able to wield tremendous economic soft power weapons. Soft power weapons that can collapse banks. Lead general strikes. Collapse GDP. And collapse the Government Party’s business model.
That’s why they’re trying to hard to make these debates look legitimate.
They’re trying to save the status quo. Because if it collapses, their business model goes with it.
Hokkoda: “If Trump prevails in 2024, the GOP is dead. If Trump is prevented from running – and the Republicans are helping with this – the GOP is dead.”
If Trump prevails in 2024, the GOP Establishment is dead; and the Republican Party is reborn as a populist America First party. But only after one hell of a fight which commences immediately after Trump is elected as the 47th president.
On the other hand, if Trump is prevented from running – and if Establishment Republicans are helping with this – the GOP is indeed dead as a national party and cannot be resurrected. And rightly so.
She’s never going to leave him, Sarah.
If Trump is prevented from running, we as a nation are dead. That’s not to say Trump is our messiah, there will still be many trials and tribulations after he takes office. But at least he gives us a chance.
“Once the status quo is destroyed, its like mixing a deck of cards. You can’t predict what comes next. Neither side can, and that evens up the odds.” That perfectly sums up where we are at now. That’s why we need to wake up our Fox News Republican friends and family. As for TDS sufferers, I simply ignore them for the most part, or treat them with disdain.
As Lindsey Williams wrote November 12, 1984:
“To explain the fundamental change of political philosophy now going on – and Reagan’s grasp of it – I can do no better than repeat my column of November 1975 when Reagan challenged President Ford and came close the following year to taking the nomination from a sitting president:
Not many political pundits have yet grasped the reason why the former unionist-actor-governor might move forward as the exponent of this new mood.
The significant fact of Reagan’s candidacy is that he operates from center ground. He is not -repeat, not – a “classic” conservative as the east coast columnists like to declare. As if that label is some kind of epithet.
It is interesting to note that the real conservatives such as Senators Barry Goldwater and John Tower have endorsed President Gerald Ford. Our non-elected president is a true conservative moving farther right each week.
Reagan is a new breed of populist – a politician described by William Safire in his book “The New Language of Politics” as “one attuned to the needs of the people.”
The so-called “fat cats” don’t know Reagan. He castigates big business, big labor and big government equally.”
Bush undermined Reagan just as Pence did to trump. Iran contra was all CIA, bush orchestrated all of it. Trump would have been completely hamstrung if he had not the big lie – god works in mysterious ways. Pray he gets back in there or we are toast. But if he does, Godzilla is in Tokyo
People are just so tired of this nonsense now that you can hear the eyes glazing all across the country. These pontificates of Republican Uni-speak have no idea how irrelevant and loathed they’ve become.
As I’ve said before, at this point any of them who have the temerity to do any less than drop from the race and endorse the inevitable nominee, and who refuse to condemn the unprecedented attacks against the Republican front runner, deserve nothing but our contempt for having failed spectacularly the “time and place” test of leadership.
The entire Republican house should demand that the Dem’s lay off Trump with all of these persecutions which are illegal to our justice system. Demand it and fight like bastards.
Haley really does look like Mittens in a dress in that photo.
…who ?
Mittens = Mitt Romney.
It’s long been said in these parts that Haley is just Mitt Romney in a skirt.
Why is it they’ve never been seen in the same room together?
You cannot put the horses back in the barn. The Bush Crime Syndicate GOPe is dead. It’s just dying a slow, painful death.
It’s not dying fast enough. George, Jr. really put one over us & Jeb refuses to butt out. Turns out maybe Neal wasn’t the real black sheep of the family. And their kids are mostly unlikeable so arrogant are they all.
It’s like the kids table at Thanksgiving. Bunch of losers. Not even talking about a lot of the things that matter to American’s. They just don’t care. And it shows.
OMG! I did not realize that PT’s website was so much FU….I mean FUN!!!
😂
Maquis, I will be there EVERY DAY!!!!!
I was on a web meeting during this clown show with seven other Trump primary voters. Guess what most of us did starting around 10 PM ET? We tuned into RSBN and watched Trump speak truth to the UAW rank-and-file.
Who wants to watch a bunch of adolescents talking crap they can’t back up. Drop out kids, getting to the top spot is impossible. The real President Trump owns that spot.
Most that did tune in were probably just rubber necking a car crash. As soon as they got a glimpse they moved on.
Exactly what i did.
That stage looks like a game show set up.
🇺🇸 WHERE is American Flag?🇺🇸
-Americans are getting smarter
From what I heard it became worse over time. It would be interesting to see how many people stopped watching early into the “show”
You can have it on & stop watching while you’re catching up on CTH. That’s what I did. Hubby even tuned it out & loves Varney. I saw no reason to have the Univision chick as a moderator. Her accent was so thick you couldn’t understand what she was asking. The look on Cristy Cream’s face when she asked a question said he couldn’t understand her either.
Wow, FAUX stumbles big time twice, looking worse than the CNN amateurs.
I’m still convinced Bush was a CIA operative to ensure the people were squash. They sure did try: Hinkley and Iran-Contra.
We need to rid ourselves of the DC strangle hold, aka The Capitol.
Have truth will travel reads the card of the man
An American Moses in a PC enslaved land
His fast draw on the corrupt Fascist State heeds the calling wind
A Soldier for Americans is the man called Trump the Paladin
He unmasks the corrupt Fascist State and its lackeys whenever he must
A Chess Knight of silver is his badge of trust
There will be legends that American free men and women will sing
Of the man who crushes the corrupt Fascist State, of the man called Trump the Paladin
Trump the Paladin, Trump the Paladin, where do you roam?
Trump the Paladin, Trump the Paladin, fighting to save the American home
The should take the multi-candidates debate format, shoot it in the head and bury it in the desert never to be resurrected again!!
So approximately 3 million other people had cat ringworm baths to give?
Who knew? 🤷♀️
Of the approximately 9.3 million people who tuned in to watch the debate on Fox, I wonder how many of them would have had that channel on regardless of programming, just by force of habit using that channel as background noise as they go about their normal evening activities.
makes no difference. if trump isn’t on the ticket america is finished.
Btw, economic sanctions work.
This is our greatest soft power weapon. It cannot be infiltrated. It cannot be co-opted.
As we saw in Philly this week, the primary weapon of the left is violence and terrorism.
We have to be the inverse of that. Those dirty s-bags can steal iPhones, but they can’t collapse a bank…or a TV network.
And all it requires is non participation.
The boycott/sanctions need to also include the RNC. They are behind this tomfoolery as a way to promote their bench since they also are in league with the law fare bunch trying to eliminate PDJT. True MAGA patriots need to form their own party and let the RINOs become extinct.
We sanction the GOP by refusing to vote for anyone with an R next to their name. A party that commands no votes requires no money to buy those votes.
Our money isn’t what keeps the GOP in business. It’s how they sell each others votes that causes the rain to fall on their fields.
No one rules when no one obeys.
Blacks in Philly have figured this out.
Another way to phrase your point is to remember that all of us are now criminals. The DOJ and police can just invent crimes now – if you get noticed.
In a society where everyone is a criminal, only suckers obey the law.
Many of them in the Senate have said they will switch to the Democrat party if MAGA takes over the party.
My thought: Best get going because we”re coming for you & Hell’s coming with us
I call it the loser’s bracket.
Scott Walker…
It’s make or break time…
Scott Walker knows from bitter experience that when the GOPe consultant class advises you to spout their completely scripted talking points like a programmed robot, you are toast when confronted by a candidate like Donald Trump.
If I were you, I wouldn’t worry about the snakes who are running.
I’d worry about the ones who aren’t.
George Kemp is standing in the wings like the vulture he is, waiting for DeStupid to crash & burn. And he loves what Fani Willis’ doing going after Trump.
ICYMI…
From the article just posted…
https://www.dossier.today/p/fox-news-moderator-hosted-panel-at
Disgusting to see Dana Perino slobber all over that evil witch.
.
Dana looks like she raided Hillary’s closet for that upholstery jacket . . .
It’s the bag lady look. They just need a shopping cart.
As to that third photo – Trump and Reagan in a handshake…..REMEMBER…
Did GHWB try to ‘off’ President Reagan via his friend John Hinckley Sr.’s son?
FTA (linked below)
“Everyone knows who John Hinckley, Jr. is. This youngest Hinckley son is now being permitted unsupervised visits within the Washington, DC metropolitan area–away from his mental facility, after nearly killing President Reagan in 1981. But a much more interesting subject is, who is John Hinckley, Sr.?
In 1980, Hinckley Sr. was a Texas oilman who, the records show, strove mightily to get fellow Texas oilman George H.W. Bush the Republican nomination for president. The Bushes and the Hinckleys were frequent dinner companions.
But far beyond their social connection, neither Bush nor Hinckley wanted Ronald Reagan to become president, because Reagan was opposed to tax breaks for the oil industry to which Bush, Hinckley and other Texans were highly dependent.
The effort to make Bush Sr. president in 1980 failed; but he and his friend and backer Hinckley Sr. got the next best thing – the “heartbeat away from the presidency” office of Vice-President of the United States.
A couple months later, Hinckley Jr. shot Reagan, and Bush Sr. very nearly did become president at that time, after all. Curiously, only one time was it announced on the news about the connections between the Bush and Hinckley families.”
http://www.richardpresser.com/wordpress/hinckley-and-bush-families-were-close-friends/
👀. 👀 👀
Okay, so I looked into this before and that was definitely my thinking, since the Bushes were family friends with the Hinkleys. But after spending years studying intelligence operations, I actually think it’s a little more complicated. Many years ago, I learned that Hinkley senior worked for World Vision, which was apparently a CIA front. So, I think Hinkley Sr was probably CIA, which makes sense since GHWBush was CIA too. But I think Hinkley Sr. just offered his son up as the fall guy for the shooting. I don’t think Hinkley was ever in St. Elizabeths. I used to live in DC and had reason to drive by there, and once I saw it, I just didn’t believe it. I think the attempted assassination was an intelligence operation and Hinkley Jr was just part of the storyline–he was crazy, infatuated with Jodie Foster, etc (to hide the fact that it was political and all about getting GHWBush in as Pres). And once they put him into St. Elizabeths, I think he was out the back door (I watched a lot of Mission Impossible when I was a kid and I just assume that’s how these intelligence agencies operate–they are masters of deception, and they have the fake corporate media covering for them). I think they actually had a real, trained assassin go after Reagan–they wanted him out of there, so they could have GHWBush as President (by “they” I’m talking about the oligarchs who own this country). I don’t think they would have risked the operation by using an amateur. And from what I recall, it was Nancy who saved his life. Apparently the driver was going to take him to Bethesda Naval Medical Center, which is where former Secretary of Defense James Forrestal was assassinated (see Dave Martin’s book on that), but Nancy said NO take him to George Washington University Hospital. I think she saved his life by making that decision.
(also, I think Bethesda Naval Medical Center was also involved in the autopsy after JFK’s assassination, and tried to hide evidence of where he was shot)
Also, I’ve heard some are suspicious of Senator Joe McCarthy dying at Bethesda Naval Hospital- no autopsy.
For more info on the Bethesda Naval Medical Center, a great resource is The Kill Zone, written by Craig Roberts, an Army sniper and career homicide detective…
I grew up in DC. st. elizabeths was always a running joke. your take on the event has a familiar smell and makes a lotta sense. Nancy never slept.
Good analysis, Amanda. That’s why I posed the question at the beginning of my post. Whatever the furtive motives behind the attempted murder, the connections as you describe and as are verifiable by research do implicate Bush Sr. and the CIA connections. That entire operation based out of Langley VA. went rogue from the beginning and has never been held accountable. They have dishonored the agents who lost their lives in service and the entire corrupt organization should be broken up and dismantled; the necessary functions being reassigned to more responsible and accountable agencies.
I saw her today at the reception,
In her glass was a bleeding man.
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well I could tell by her blood stained hands.
Sing it to me honey
Mick’s inflection makes it sting….like a soft boycott. Dripping with irony and discomfort.
What a sorry slate of simps. Where’s Larry Elder? I guess he is too intelligent to have been invited.
.
At least Ada got dumped . . .
You mean Ass-a Hutchinson?
Newt Gingrich…
Ingraham Had Her Hairball Hung in the Back of Her Throat, She Couldn’t Cough It UP and She Couldn’t SWALLOW IT.
POOR Newt, Sees That HE IS INEFFECTIVE
i LIKED the Visual of Youngkin flashing Behind Newt UNTIL Newt TWICE SAID The REALITY IS TRUMP IS THE NOMINEE
Larry Elder…
For all people who think Dana Perino is a conservative and for all who believe she gives a damn that Hillary and Bill are corrupt as hell, take a look at this:
(13) Citizen Free Press on X: “Last week, Fox News GOP debate moderator Dana Perino called Hillary Clinton “amazing” during an introduction at the Clinton foundation gala. https://t.co/GIvBKe01Kj” / X (twitter.com)
Saying what they’ve been paid to say.
27% is a big viewership loss.
Can’t wait to see if they’ll do it again.
They’re that clueless. And accommodating.
President Trump is the big winner every time they do this.
That picture from the debate is great! Ramalamadingdong pontificating. Scott and Christie paying attention, looking highly skeptical, readying their attacks.
DeSantis, Haley, Hutchinson look bored; DeSantis looks like his boots have begun hurting and he’s trying to remember his lines. Pence looks like he needs a bathroom break.
Cut cable months ago. It’s wonderful. Once you see the pretending, this type thing (loser debate) is a total waste of time. Thanks Sundance.
I watched the Rubin Report segment with Larry Elder with their thoughts about the debate and another man joined the interview who was present live at the debates and he said some attendees actually got up and left during the debate.
Frankly? I’m tired of paying for all her plastic surgery. She is just as pathetic as a woman as she is at running the RNC.
It’s The liberal woke FoxNews. What did you expect? Biden and the dems loved it though. Shame on Ronna and the RNC for participating in these debates for what they are.

Conservatives Give FOX Business a Failing Grade for Second Republican Debate
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/09/conservatives-give-fox-business-failing-grade-second-republican/
I had a Dentist appointment for a root canal …😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣!!
