A post-game show anchored by Megyn Kelly had 11.1 million viewers, a 1000% increase over the time slot's usual total viewership.

The amazing thing about Trump is that since he's built his entire career around saying crazy things and acting like an arrogant prick he's immune to being called out on it. If they wanna sink him they just need to ask boring rear end questions about entitlement reform and have the audience fall asleep.

They won't. Trump would have expected boring questions and prepared fiery answers. His entire career is about firing up boring crap and selling them as gold. Trump is acting as the president the rep base has been expecting. The regular candidates are walking on razor thin path of not pissing off their base while trying to woo swing voters. Each side has 40% votes in the bag, they're all fighting for the 20% swing voters. While the rep candidates are fighting for the 20%, Trump is stealing their 40%.
