It looks like most viewers, like me, found Monday Night Goofball for compelling than Monday Night Football.

Now if the debate had been scheduled opposite a NASCAR race, Donnie may have had a point.

…and yet today he takes ‘credit’ for being MORE watchable than the NFL.

Of course people watched the debates. Everyone wanted to see the Trumplosion.

It was the Falcons and the Saints for cryin’ out loud. Outside of seeing a gang fight in a cemetery, what red-blooded American would pass up a chance to see The Creamsicle get the hide whipped off his ass in slow motion?

MNF is cable-only now so it was going to be low anyway.

Good. Means even more people saw his face-plant. And he knows it.

Still believe he’ll try to weasel out of Round #2 and #3.

And debate viewership crushed not just in the US, but around the world.

You should see the Nielsenovich ratings for Russian TV…

Trump is so popular there, he upstaged both “Uposcrabblenyk”, their favorite game show (Anna lost to Victor for using a 28-letter word for ‘dog’ that turned out to be slang; Victor will be back next week to try and qualify for a 2019 delivery on his new Lada) and “What Fits into Russia”, where they fit other countries into a map of the Motherland (this week, Australia barely covered half of Krasnoyarsk) – and in all 46 federal oblasts!

It took two teevee sets going simultaneously to properly enjoy the debate in my house. One was tuned to Monday Night Football; the other to FXX’s Every.Simpsons.Ever.

Sniff. Sniff-a-dee-oodly-noodly.

The best moment for me was near the end after one of drumpf’s inane rants then it goes to Hillary and she squares her shoulders like a batter getting ready for a home run or a golfer preparing to tee off and then she does.
No mercy
No prisoners
No rethuglicans.

I don’t think I’m alone when I say irasdad is easily the funniest, most erudite commentator here.

@irasdad You really should be writing for Colbert or Meyers (if you’re not already).

Well, be fair.
One channel had a game with two closely matched opponents lead by two of the better quarterbacks in the NFL.
The other channels had a coke-head blow-hard arguing with the moderator and trying to yell over the former Secretary of State. Much more entertaining.

Texas is tiny star compared to vast universe that is Russia!

Wait til Trump gets clear of this presidential campaign gig and can get busy cranking out Russian TV shows.

Definitely not alone.

I’ll second that!

My old Murdoch-manufactured satellite dish has not picked up channel CCCP1 in decades. It only gets Fox, Sky and of late, RT.
