14 million tune in for Democratic debate as cable news ignores Trump's Hillary Clinton rant

The Democratic debate did well in the ratings despite competition from the NFL and MLB.

Some 14 million people watched the Democratic debate on Thursday night. Cable news networks, meanwhile, did not bother to air a speech by Trump, which attempted to counterprogram the event.

"Thursday night's debate featuring ten presidential candidates averaged 14 million viewers across ABC and Univision," CNN reported. "The debate ratings were head and shoulders above everything else on TV Thursday night."

By contrast, Trump's speech to Republicans at the Congressional Institute in Baltimore was not aired on cable news networks — not even the usually Trump-friendly Fox News. In that speech, Trump rehashed the 2016 campaign and attacked his former rival, Hillary Clinton.

And, a clip that Chuck Todd showed, no one even applauded him.

As he added: even Republicans are getting tired of all the "fake news."

Oh, and finally Baltimore did get its rodent infestations..
