Add CSPAN ratings to Fox’s and it’s even worse for the vile democrats. Whoopee!.
Sad, but the Dems had about a million more total viewers, by my math. The conventions are not going to decide this. The debates and the mood on the streets will decide this one. For Me…Trump 2020!!!!
The BIGGEST PROBLEM with YOUR MATH is you did not take into account the people who were NOT WATCHING THE RNC ON CABLE/SATELLITE. like those who watched on OANN via ROKU and YouTube, STREAMING IT, as I did and many others I know.
THIS IS WHY POLLS, IN THIS AGE OF HIGH TECH, ARE NOT RELIABLE and NEITHER IS YOUR CORE MATH.
Sorry, but PREDICTIONS are unpredictable.
TRUMP WILL WIN RE-ELECTION AND THE DEMOCRATS ARE SCARED TO DEATH and rightly so. THEY HAVE NO PLATFORM OR CONSTITUTIONAL POLICIES. All they have IS HATRED AND BLAME FOR TRUMP AND DEPLORABLES. If that is all they have, THEY WILL SURELY LOSE.
Yes (D)’s calls OUR policy’s “SNAKE OIL”.
This lie comes from actual human SNAKES…!!!
Finally the American “sleeping giant” is awakening…!
Fox News coverage was horrible. I ended up watching c-span so I could listen to all the speakers.
