    That’s impressive considering the amount of non-Trump supporters that tuned in to the RepubliKlan convention just to watch the circus

    People are tuning in because they feel hope for the first time in *years*. The DNC is about hope while the RNC was about hate.

  3. This might actually put Trump over the edge. How awful for him, so sad.

    Oh, well. Have a nice fall, weirdo. Don’t let the dementia hit you on the way down.

  4. On top of the magamuffins constantly downplaying that nobody was there, everything was scripted, all the politicians left etc.

    I hope that Kamala takes advantage of this and gives a rocker of a speech on the importance of voting that will mention that in 2020, Biden lost Texas by 600k votes with 10 million abstaining and Florida by 350 thousand with nearly 4 million abstaining.

    RNC: same old shit. Whining, grievances, “American carnage,” “der terk er jerbs,” LBGTQ are all perverts and groomers, Biden personally raised gas and grocery prices, etc. Anyone can watch this on any night on Fox News, so why bother tuning into the RNC coverage?

    He’s gonna go ballistic tonight as the object of his obsession will be speaking.

  8. Every McDonalds in a 5 mile radius of Mar-a-lago just went into critical alert.. comfort Big Macs are being prepped.

  9. Trump: Those views were actually AI, which is election fraud, and Harris should be thrown in prison immediately.

    Trump’s living room is gonna look like the front row at a Gallagher show after he hears this.

  11. Damn, complete obliteration. And tonight promises to be even higher ratings with both Obama speaking.

    This convention will be a smashing success with the American people and there will be a noticeable poll bounce after it.

    Trump, probably:

    “Wouldn’t you know it. The entire Democratic convention, nobody showed up. They have nobody there. It is all just AI. That is illegal. Harris must excuse herself from the election, using AI to pretend having a convention is against the rules. They need to find someone new to run against me.

    And the reports that their convention has much higher ratings than mine ate all fake news. My convention was the most viewed in history. More people tuned into the unbelievably great Trump convention than watched the moon landing. More people tuned into my convention than watched any Super Bowl in history.

    There is no way the DNC convention has more than me. It is all a lie.”

  12. This one is going to stomp on all of the squishy pumpkins’ emotional no-no spots.

    Can’t wait for the incoming social media meltdown of desperate drama and delusion as he seeks to yank the spotlight back on himself.

    It’s a self-defeating prophecy. More and more people are getting less and less interested in having a spoiled rotten 80 year old toddler abusing his power, holding the country hostage while demanding more candy.

    Please.. please.. we can be great again.. let’s go back to being great. Remember when we were so great.. you remember, right?

    Yawn.. the world is moving on.

  13. Ratings are probably one of the least biased polls out there. Not everyone watching is planning to vote for her. But a huge amount of people are more interested in what the democrats have to say either way and that’s a really big deal

    “Sleepy” Biden delivered a passionate speech pushing midnight while donOLD fell asleep when it wasn’t his turn to speak yet.

  15. Tyrants tell you to be afraid. Leaders tell you to have courage. Courage gives you hope, and hope is what we need.

    I would just like to say making Biden speak at 11:25 EST is insane since he was purportedly to old to beat Trump. I love Biden!

  17. Should it be concerning that electionbettingodds has Kamala back under 50% when she was at 54 a week ago?

  18. Let’s keep it up pleaseeee how great would it be if the election could be called Tuesday night

    Fake News! Trump had the most viewers of any convention ever. Billions of people worldwide watched him. He’s more popular than FDR.

    /s

  20. By tomorrow morning we’re going to be hearing how the media rigged the ratings for Harris. DT all capping a post as we speak.

    So what days do the celebrities show up? Those ratings are going to be crazy.

  22. Was anyone else emotional last night watching? Did not expect to be so choked up at times. It was night and day compared to listening to Don the Con.

    Oh that’s gotta hurt Dump. There’ll be so wild “fake rating news” rants tonight. Much ketchup will be flung!

    My Republican boomer parents from PA and I stayed up late last night to watch Biden speak.

    The times, they are a changing….

    > In response to the report, the Trump campaign told the magazine, “Voters know Kamala is weak, failed, and dangerously liberal, and the Democrat ticket is the most radical in American history.”

    It’s so funny that the campaign responded to this at all, and that they just phoned in some boilerplate nonsense that’s not even tangentially related to the DNC having more viewers. They’re running the most fly-by-night campaign I’ve ever seen.

    This must be one of the reasons Trump seemed borderline suicidal during his speech today.
