That’s a great point, jman. Plenty of overlap for one, but virtually none for the other.
not totally relevant, but what was the 1st/2nd debate dropoff in 2016?

I believe the 2nd and 3rd debates usually drop a ton in ratings from the first. Trump (hopefully) sealed his fate with his performance in that first debate.
How do people who switched to Biden after Trump was done get counted in this? If they are part of the Biden total he was probably behind while head-to-head.
They have the ability to isolate the 8-9pm hour, but I’m not seeing that in the article.

Here’s a claim that I love but I absolutely cannot bring myself to believe:
Usain Bolt has never run a mile.

That seems nuts. I thought that even sprinters do a huge amount of their training at “easy” distance recovery type runs. I know rowers who specialize in short distances do a lot of long distance volume, and I thought this was kind of a foundational training thing.
Not always the biggest fan of Hasan but this is a fun highlights of the debate.
I agree. I highly prefer Vaush of Hasan, though he has his problems too
Some Trump types claim Trump won in the streaming numbers.

“Short” distance for rowing is 500m in a minute, minute and a half at the shortest. More like 2k in 6 minutes.
Bolt is done in less than 20 seconds.
Very different energy systems.
But yeah. I also thought they ran longer distances as well.
Yeah I’m sure Trump’s 60-year-old base is streaming like crazy.

I have found the quintessential summary of the town halls.
