The whole purpose of the DNC is to promote the Democrat/Liberal/Progressive message.

It's tough to do when the debates are buried on weekend time slots.


It's also funny how the GOP had no problem finding mid-week slots, and plenty of them.



Oh, well. While the GOP message gets out, and gets air play on all networks at an exponential rate, we struggle.

It will be hard to fully determine because the livestream had serious problems and many couldn't watch online.

...I had to take a bathroom break which took a bit of time, as I am a woman. 😊

with 4 other people.
The stream sucked, as did ABC, who had a giant infomercial for Clinton both before and in the entirety of the "debate." If it was a debate, why was Clinton permitted to answer each and every question, and others were not? This was no debate, it was a gigantic infomercial for Clinton.
And ABC which is in cahoots with Disney, who now owns the Star Wars franchise, wrote Clinton's last line.

Oh, and I didn't hear a Star Wars line at the end, what I heard Clinton say was, "May the farce be with you."

I was at a debate party with about 50 other people. There were several such parties in my area, I actually had to chose among 5 or so parties. I don't know what the attendance at the others were, probably between 10-30 each though. Now multiply that by all the major cities and all the homes that multiple people in the family were watching, plus all the live streamers.
