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."
