I like your visual imagery. It takes "crawling over broken glass" to a new level.

(10,952 posts)1. Per the Hill RE CSPAN
https://thehill.com/homenews/media/513507-first-night-of-gop-convention-delivers-nearly-six-times-more-views-than-start
C-SPAN's livestream of the first night of the Republican National Convention has attracted nearly 440,000 views, marking a substantial increase over the start of the Democratic National Convention, which drew 76,000 views.
The numbers for Monday night come ahead of traditional TV ratings from Nielsen Media Research, which will be released on Tuesday afternoon.
According to Nielsen, 18.7 million people tuned in to the first night of the virtual Democratic convention from Milwaukee and Wilmington, Del., on Aug. 17, which featured speeches from former first lady Michelle Obama and former Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R)
We will have to wait until later on today to get a better picture of the overall viewing numbers for last night.

(15,887 posts)3. Yeah numbers should be out soon
That C-Span stream is not great for either party. 440K viewers is nothing and the 76K viewers is nothing as well.

(14,537 posts)5. I will confess
I watched very little of the Democratic Convention. Why. I will willingly chew glass, spit it out, then crawl over it to vote a straight D ticket.

I feel the same way.

Lower numbers for DNC could be because most of the country already knows who they're voting for.
