It was the least watched of the four debates, but it still set records.
An estimated 13.5 million people watched the fourth Republican presidential debate of the season, making it the most-watched program in Fox Business Network’s history.
Focused primarily on economic issues, it last among the GOP debates, behind the 14 million who watched the third debate on CNBC. Before Tuesday’s debate, Fox Business Network has never before reached as many as 1 million viewers for an event.
The debate was a more sedate affair than the first three, after Republicans complained about questioning during the CNBC debate.
The first two debates, on Fox News Channel and CNN, each exceeded 20 million viewers.

LAST NIGHT DEBATE PROVED THAT ESTA BLISHED POLITI CIANS PRETEND TO CONVINCE VOTERS THAT TRIMP”s proppos as on illegal inmigration are crazy to say the least. Trump is not preaching inmigration reform is about enforcing. Cyrrent laws
Ehile oba is ridding the country of undesirables at add lmost 2’000’000.00 per year and trump woll likely continue eith whEver are left, the ones thT qualify around 5 mlkon according to goverment records must leave and come back legally
The law says if you are illeg as l in the country , has lived for 5 years in the USA for 5 years or moreand wish to legize your status, apply for residency, show proof, pass a background check pay processing fees, once approved you must leave the country pi k up your do uments at the consulate if your country of origin and return to the USA as a legal inmigrant. This is Trump”s plans. Forget about inmigratipn reform, amnesty etc. It is politicians way of starting a non issue debate

How many of us “WantaBelievewhat They Say”…When They Tell us ( Before They ARE elected IS usually Always Back-Assard from What They Promise that Got them Elected.. are fed up ?Look at All the “De-Lovely Promises” The Obama Put Over on us ! And Then..Decide for yourself. I have Come to the Conclusion that IT IS Up to the Average citizen of This Country..to Make Certain These ‘politicians we voted in..are really living up to their Word… And If we Find They are NOT… Then OUT is where they will be Booted. And I don`t mean”wait until Next “”Election in order to Do so, either. There Has to be Some Saving factor for the “Citizen`s benefit. [ NOT Just “”Rules ” To protect the Liers’. ]IF there Isn`t any such Available Already, then Don`t All you Taxpayers out here Have the Right to Demand Action Immediately Against These Lying Promisers ??] After all, WE DO pay them quite well for Their Services ( Services that Are Supposed to be For OUR Best interests And Benefit. Not Just for Their Own.)
