Trump ridiculed for Republican convention ratings slump

[LetMyPeopleVote]

Ratings are very very important to TFG. I was a delegate to the 2016 Convention and we did not see Hillary until the last night. TFG going to each session shows that TFG is worried about the ratings. If we want to piss off TFG, we need to keep on talking about the ratings

The Republican National Convention hasn't performed well in television ratings, and former President Donald Trump, who is notoriously obsessed with crowd sizes, is being ridiculed for the failure.

Variety reported that despite a near-death experience, the convention's first night drew 18.1 million viewers across all networks.

"Fox News led the pack by far with 6.9 million viewers at 10 p.m. Next was ABC with 2.3 million viewers, NBC with 2.2 million, CBS with 1.8 million, MSNBC with 1.3 million and CNN with 1.1 million," the report said......

MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell called the event a “very low-rated convention” for Trump.

“I think it’s one of the reasons why he went there,” O’Donnell continued. “And I think even if he hadn’t been attacked, there’s a possibility he would have gone to try to pump up his ratings. He did everything he could to pump up Monday night’s ratings that are lower than the Monday night ratings of his 2016 convention.”

“So that’s six million ardent Trump supporters is the most they can get,” O’Donnell pointed out. “Less than 10 percent of ardent Trump voters decided, ‘I’m going to watch this thing last night.'”

Colleague Rachel Maddow mocked, “That’s really not that much of a bump for Fox."

1. Hate the guy, but to be fair

Main Stream Media is probably about half to blame.

3. I'll tell you the reason why ratings are in the toilet for tRUMP...he's out there, full-time, never ending, etc., and

we're sick and tired of seeing his fat face out there. Simple!

Maybe someone in the repug camp will be brave enough to tell the higher ups this in the tRUMP gopher party? I doubt it, since they lie and hide everything anyways.

4. Vance is polling MUCH HIGHER than the felon

may soon be the headlines.

The felon looks so old, weak, and stupid next to Vance.

5. In the brief 5 minutes I could stomach watching last night. . . .

I was quite surprised to see Cheeto lumbering in. I always thought they saved the candidate until the end in order to build suspense. . . Cheeto looked decidedly low energy with his sagging jowls and that enormous, square dressing on his ear. Knowing the Repigs and how they operate, I have no doubt that dressing on his ear was placed for what they thought would be strategic value. It just looks, well. . . strange.

The crowd did not seem at all excited, and the speakers did not appear to be terribly energetic either. Of course they got some cheers, but it was not over enthusiastic in my opinion.

When I think about Joe's performance in Detroit, there is no comparison with Cheeto's RNC. Joe's Detroit performance reminded me of what a normal political convention sounds like.

6. "...the convention's first night drew 18.1 million viewers..."

Well, I wasn't one of those.

7. More people watched Joe Biden's boring ass press conference than the Republican Convention.
