MSNBC’s Town Hall with Donald Trump, which went up against CNN’s Town Hall with three other GOP candidates, as well as FNC’s O’Reilly Factor (with Eric Bolling filling in) finished in third place last night in both total viewers and the demo. Fox News, as it always does, lead the way in viewers at 8 p.m., but was down from its usual 3+ million viewer total. CNN was far out front in A25-54 demo viewers for the hour:
