A false start, some out-year formulas, and journalists well scared to make the police. These are some of the lessons that will be retained – on the form – of this debate of between-two-tricks of the presidential election co-produced by TF1 and France 2. This debate brought together a total of 15.6 million Telespectors, adding the four information channels to the two broadcasters. In 2017, this face-to-face brought together 16.4 million curious.

From the first minutes, we wondered, on Twitter, if it would not be “the” moment of the evening.
