if this is i don t know if they re doing this on purpose, to protect hillary clinton, which is a ridiculous idea since she does very well in the debates. i m upset they re doing this on a saturday night. i would rather have them do it when more people watch it. we did the fox business network debate, we got 13.5 million viewers. more than the last democratic debate on one of the broadcast networks. like 8 million. the junior varsity debate, the republicans this week, will draw more, 5.1 that s by design. this one on the democratic side is not she has the nomination, so why watch? let me ask you about this, last night, what i heard from the debate, alan, your take on this as well. a lot of free stuff, free college, lots of giveaways coming from secretary clinton and all of them last night. they want to raise minimum wages, they want to rein wall
