Democratic debate live stream outdraws GOP debate according to CNN

[Bluenorthwest]

"CNN's first Democratic debate of the season scored a bigger online audience than its first Republican debate, according to the network's internal measurements.

The live stream peaked at 980,000 concurrent live streams around 10:20 pm Eastern Time, a CNN spokesman said. The network's GOP debate on September 16 peaked with 921,000 concurrent streams."

Actual 'ratings' or viewer numbers will be out later, but the live stream figures are nice.

1. But wait - Trump insisted the ratings wouldn't amount to jack shit, compared

to the Republican debate!

2. They might not be as high but obviously they won't be too shabby, and the extra 60,000 or so

streaming indicates a younger and more connected audience which is in itself a good thing.

3. I just read that myself

I think that shows the country is not all that happy with the GOP, and are trying to find a better choice than the occupants of the GOP clown car.

What I saw last night was a real discussion on the issues, not a bunch of morons on state, like in the GOP, trying to out "Trump" the
Donald in seeing who could alienate the most americans with their BS ideas on immigration, women's rights etc.

4. Our line up certainly had the gravitas so lacking among the Republicans.

I love saying 'gravitas' in primary season but in this case it is true. Our worst better than their best.

7. Exactly

I think the only reason a lot of viewers even watched the GOP debates is to see just how crazy Trump will be, and how much he will attack his own fellow candidates. Their "best" has yet to appear, but the worst in them all has come out for all the country to see.

5. Good news for bernie

This bodes well for him the more people watch since we know who has been drawing crowds.

6. I had some trouble keeping the stream going

so dropped out after @ 45 minutes.
From what I saw last night others did also, else it may have been even higher
