In any case, I wouldn't take the tally of the audience at the debate as being too significant. The audience for these events (Toronto gentry) is highly specialized & not representative.

I couldn't watch the whole debate (giving the girls a bath!) but from the chunk I saw, Frum was much more forceful & clear than Bannon. But the real problem was taking Bannon's claims to be populist at face value. Once you've done that, all is lost.

I'll say this about not just this debate but Munk debates in general, that the framing of the question tends to be a bigger problem than the choice of debaters.

I'll have to watch the whole debate to get a more fixed judgement but I think Frum did as well as possible presenting the center right case against ethno-nationalist right. The problem is the center right are not best people to fight ethno-nationalism.

They apologized. They did put up wrong numbers. The % for and against resolution stayed same before and after. 78% against.
