Huge: Despite boycott effort, 'Kelly File' outdraws CNN's Democratic Town Hall

Donald Trump fans quickly organized a #BoycottKellyFile movement following the first Republican debate, but as Politico’s Alex Weprin reports today, Megyn Kelly doesn’t seem to be hurting for viewers.

That Trump boycott is going gangbusters, isn’t it? https://t.co/9etkly970c

Initial ratings show that last night’s “Kelly File” managed to outdraw CNN’s live Democratic Town Hall special, featuring moderator Anderson Cooper and the two remaining Democratic candidates, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, between 9 and 10 p.m.

Oh, and one other caveat that suggests either a disinterest in the race or early-onset voter fatigue …

@alexweprin Also, oy, a 4 year old Big Bang Theory rerun drew as many 18-49 viewers ad Dem town hall and Megyn Kelly combined.
