    What a stinker !

    Apparently the reality TV president could use a good dose of reality.

    https://www.tvguide.com/news/dnc-rnc-tv-ratings-night-one
    Early numbers from Nielsen indicate that the first night of the Republican National Convention drew 15.8 million viewers across six networks, which is significantly less than the 18.7 million viewers who tuned in to the Democratic National Convention on its first night.

    "Though both conventions numbers are impressive compared to normal primetime ratings, it's also worth noting that they both drew fewer viewers than four years ago. The Republican National Convention experienced a ratings dip of 29 percent from the 2016 convention, and The Democratic National Convention saw a similar dip of 27 percent. These numbers do not reflect digital streaming, which has become an increasingly popular way to watch the conventions."

    Well, maybe people already know what the Republicans are offering to them.

    And Trump released his reelection agenda (I think?), so we know what agenda he is promising us.

    However, his list seems like the same one he promised during his first run as a candidate for President.

    Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

    The reality is Trump filled arenas when Biden couldn’t fill a phone booth.

    But think of it this way; if we get the swift justice the left wing rioters are calling for, then Millions of them will soon be felons who can’t vote.

    So what you’re saying is that after calling a travel ban from China racist, after pelosi said to go out and enjoy Chinatown, after saying go ahead and ride the buses and subways of New York, after having democrat primary debates, after Super Tuesday, after millions of left wingers rioted, you’re saying Cain got sick at a rally? Prove it.

    Yes, because streaming has increased, Broadcast, Satellite and cable has decreased.
    And your comment mentions this, thank you.

    Therefore, that is not the relevant statistic.
    The current comparison is.

    Who cares, he can't fill 'em now. Moreover, I'm not voting for Biden, not many are, what we are voting is AGAINST TRUMP.

    So, your point is moot.

    Trump isn't as popular compared to his first campaign. I admit his character was novel during the 2016 campaign. Someone who wasn't a politician and represented perhaps a change in social policy. However, after 4 years what we got was something worse. Not a politician, but a businessman, and a terrible one at that. He outlined several promises and has yet to follow through. Obamacare? Tax returns? Federal deficit? Trump is just one lie after another and people are fed up with it. If he somehow gets re-elected by rigging the system, it will be another 4 years of complaining about Obama, tweeting and using tax payers dollars to finance his golf expeditions.

    Public Television ran it here. How do you count those viewers??? Lots of people can't afford pay TV any more, plus it's too expensive for the low quality and choice of products any more and people who can afford it are dropping it in droves.

    We should also take a clue from Jefferson and our Founders and deport the rioters and other domestic enemies.

    Vacuous declarations are not a merit worthy counter argument

    this is Trump's plan, do such a poor job that the left thinks he can't possibly win, then the right votes for him anyways and the left stays home, 2016 all over again

    I believe the 2 criminal indictments during Bill Clinton's term were for himself.

    They will trust Trump to recover the economy fast like he already did. Obama/Biden sat around with their thumbs up their butts waiting for something to happen on it's own.

    Trump inherited a growing economy from Obama, Trump is passing on a tanking economy to either himself or Biden
