What do you think, how many people will tune in for this night (Wednesday).

Tonights debaters will be:

  • Elizabeth Warren
  • Beto O'Rourke
  • Cory Booker
  • Amy Klobuchar
  • Juliàn Castro
  • Tim Ryan
  • Tulsi Gabbard
  • Jay Inslee
  • Bill deBlasio

As comparison, in the 2016-cycle the democratic debates had between 4.5 and 15.3 million viewers. The republican debates with a much more crowded field got between 11.1 and 24.0 million viewers.

EDIT:

Wikipedia has updated the debate article to include viewership: ~24.3 million (15.3m live TV; 9m streaming)

I'm not into fishing much but every time I see Beto I feel like I need to cast a line towards him to see if I can catch him. You will really start to get his arms flapping once you start reeling him in.



Less than tomorrow, as the two headliners are missing.

Btw, for me here in Manila, it's gonna be tomorrow morning. Anybody knows if it gets streamed somewhere?



Aren't these the low expectation group? the ones poling around 1%? I think warren is the only one that is not in the group. Maybe if people think it will be hers anyways they might not even bother to watch.



It takes genuine talent to see greatness in yourself despite your absence of genuine talent.

PS. first time I see that beting mechanic. Might be kinda sweet. Can you do that to any poll thread?

Yea the list in first debate is pretty lame. Warren is the only stand out on the list. If she doesn't mop the floor with them then you know she is going to run into trouble.

I plan to do a similar thread for tomorrows debate. But first things first.

As you create a thread you can select either polls or bets. Other than that they are kinda similar, as you define the options.

BTW, as VGC implements it currently you get 150% of the amount if choose the winning option and lose everything if not. A moderator has to choose the winning option.

These are the ratings from the 2016 debates. I'm gonna bet 500 on 16 million tonight. Tomorrow I think 18-20m



Why is DeBlasio running for president? I'm kind of surprised he's still mayor.
