time. some people said, well, that was the first one, that was trump. last night we now know about 23 million people watching on cnn. this isn t double or triple. this is some sort of wider political culture moment here. which debate do you think was better? well, hard to really gauge which was better because both offered us very illuminating moments into what these candidates are going to be like on the campaign trail moving forward. and both gave us greater insight into donald trump as a candidate which is the big story of the moment. but look, i think this is a cultural phenomenon at this point. it is not only about donald trump. i mean, this is about people taking a look at the republican party and seeing something they haven t seen before. and that s personally donald trump but you re also seeing the most diverse field that the republican party has ever had really. yeah. and some of the most interesting candidates the party has ever fielded. yeah. this is a moment for th
