Biden Town Hall Trounces Trump Town Hall in Nielsen Ratings
TV show ratings are no way to determine an election, and I wouldn’t even pay attention to this in normal times, but these are not normal times and you just know this failure is eating at Trump’s little weasel brain.
Because as it turns out, Joe Biden’s town hall event outdrew Trump’s by almost a million viewers, even though Trump’s event was carried on three networks compared to one for Biden.
