'Is this the best Dems can do?' Rupert Murdoch blasts 'pathetic' Dem debate as 'too painful to watch'

Last night’s Democratic debate was bad. Really bad. And Murdoch wasn’t the only one turned off by it. Check out these numbers:

It wasn’t a debate. It was an infomercial, and no one wanted to watch because they already knew the tired lines that were going to be repeated incessantly.
