87. He got the Colbert Bump. Simple as that

I think she would have won otherwise. Trump, through his own machinations, with his FCC chair, caused the controversy that pressured Colbert into standing up, and rightly so, and YouTubing his interview, which drew many more viewers than it would have on the show itself. That publicity was gold.

He will be great. Don't take it out on him. She is great. She will find a place to continue her fight, our fight
