The DNC Is Dominating the RNC in TV Ratings

X, dear, the point is that Trump thinks ratings do matter. We can enjoy Trump's disappointment in 2nd place in the ratings whether we think they actually matter or not.

Then the ratings matter to you, darlin’.
 
Republicans are not as partisan by nature, and some will go out of their way to watch the opposition, either to cement their view of it or see if they are worthy. There is no such equivalent on the new left, liberals are mostly a monolithic group these days, if you have a liberal critical thinker who is active in knowledge gathering (head not in sand, willingly or otherwise), he or she is now a Republican, or an independent.

Being from the bubble previously, I can see how incredibly powerful propaganda and peer pressure is, not only to support your views but also to create a feeling of "otherness" by gaslighting, misrepresenting the opposition, it's an art form and the left has it down to a science.

There are many liberals, even active ones in the media, who will write articles about how the right wing is going too far right, or how the media is "right biased", or how the Republican Party has moved so far right it's not even reachable, it's absolute insanity to even read this but yet young liberals in cities believe all that, as if the world started spinning when they were born.

Not really. I didn't watch either convention. They're kind of boring. I did see Kimberly's speech the next morning. Definite fuel for satire there!

With his resignations, IDGAF about Becki, she's not my type....

IDK though, I could do it, if Jerry can kick me some scratch though, for inspiration (would never "man whore" myself ya know), she's not ugly anyway ;)

Trump’s not the one that claims ratings are meaningless anytime Rush or Fox News cleans up in the ratings. :lol:

But he does like to brag about his ratings. Ecen on his briefing on a pandemic, what he bragged about was how great his ratings were.

Well that looks the exact opposite of saying ratings don’t matter which is the point.

Shouldn't you get back to your worship? That portraitbif Trump isn't going to wave incense at itself.

I’m incensed by that suggestion. It’s sage.

People were tuning in to hear what goofball thing he would say next. Ratings don't always mean political approval.
 
hang on.


i thought that one thread that used only one TV channel said that the RNC was dominating???

It's known as the clownverse nowadays, but if you're into comics bizarro will do. Indeed, I mean men can turn into women on a whim, you're not a liberal unless you're utterly illiberal, libertarians think there is such a thing as libertarian-left, freedom is slavery and violence is peace, but really all the evidence you ever need is only to turn on the tube on mainstream media at night, it's a laugh fest of disinformation and fake news, hard to watch unless you have a sense of humour I guess. I get it, Trump gets into people's heads and they do go a bit kooky but man, this is getting ridiculous.

The thread title is based on the first night only.

The second night of the RNC had nearly as many viewers as the second night of the DNC, per Reuter’s.

19.2 million to 19.4 million

BTW, my DEMOCRAT uncle was a door gunner in 'Nam, several times decorated.... He never would talk about it; I can't say I blamed him. He passed of Lou Gerhig's.... My REPUBLICAN grandpa, was a retired postman and WWII vet. If either one of them still lived, they'd both be disgusted, and vote Biden....And to think it woulda only took an orange moron to finally get them to agree.... :roll:

I would not be so sure. Trump is very popular with the military and gets record levels of approval from Republicans. They might agree to vote Trump.

Neil Young would agree with you. He was a radical's radical.

I didn't have a beer with Willie Nelson, but he's local and paths have crossed. So is Ted Nugent, now, but him I have not met.

I notice you did not disagree that Neil Young is out there.
