The problem is there is not a good way to accurately measure it. Read through the Fox News article and you would see that there is no information on methodology. Fox News don't tell even tell which streaming sites/platforms's statistics are included, much less any mention of the measurement methodologies used by those sites/platforms.

Indeed. I would assume, however, that they used the same methodologies for DNC and RNC. It would be interesting to see what those were. And, the RNC numbers were quoted delivered by a "senior campaign official."

I watched both conventions...wait, let me rephrase that. When I watched both conventions, I watched on my computer via Comcast. Was I counted either time?

But what matters more than viewers is money, and the RNC outraised the DNC by about six million dollars.

2. Seems counterintuitive that GOP would have more on-line users

Because the looters got all the smart TVs?

Good one, Copper!

@Larry But, if you look at per cent of seniors who vote versus other age groups, then maybe Vice President Biden will get more votes from the two parades. LOL (though I think that President Trump has pretty high approval among seniors)

Remember that video segment where Trump spoke at a naturalization swearing in ceremony in the White House?

"Acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf said Sunday that he did not know a video in which he participated in a naturalization ceremony would be broadcast during the Republican National Convention."

Do you believe him?

Ax 'ol pal 'ol bud, my mind-reading isn't even in the same universe as yours.
So, do I believe him?
Am I suppose to? Or, not.
See, it's so much easier to mindread, when you are feigning asking just a simple, innocent little question, don't you think, where you already know the answer?
I tried. Can't do it. Just can't do it. I bow to your mastery. Your cognitive ability is like a pinball machine compared to mine.

Those clips are embarrassing for Trump, but they are also embarrassing for the persons in the video. How somebody like Ted Cruz can support Trump with a straight face after what he said about him is beyond me.

Naive critter, ain't you?

It's politics, young man.

“Across their respective four nights of programming, the Democratic convention averaged more than 20 million total viewers per night in the 10 p.m. spotlight viewing hour, compared with 17.4 million total viewers for the GOP convention.“

The TV viewership numbers are in. The Democratic National Convention has won the TV viewership comparison.

That’s interesting. Winning side got more viewers in every election for the last quarter century.

Yep, and Republicans had six times as many people streaming their convention than the Dems. If you count total eyeballs, the GOP had more people watching.

Secondly, Biden got no bounce. Trump did. That's interesting...

That frustrates me.

Primary opponents (on both sides) talk bad about each other. But wait - ten days later, that same person is the greatest person EVER!!!!

So, do we believe then before? Do we believe them now? Do we ever believe them???

Good comments, as usual, TG.

Kamala Harris who polled at 3% during her brief run for the presidency, In fact, she dropped out before the first primary was held, and now, all of a sudden, she's the greatest thing since indoor plumbing?

Color me skeptical, but she was chosen only on the basis of her gender and race.

More RNC bait-and-switch shenanigans:

"Three NYC public housing tenants said they were tricked into appearing in a Republican National Convention video. Lynne Patton, a HUD official, interviewed them for the video, which they thought would be used to highlight issues in public housing."

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/28/nyregion/nyc-tenants-rnc-video-trump.html

“I am not a Trump supporter,” one of the tenants said, adding that she was furious that her interview with a government official was used for the convention.

ATTA BOY, AX!!!!
Man, you're changing the forum, country and world like a Superman!
Everything you copy/paste turns into like, a combination of Aristotle and Shakespeare. It's so like, deep-like and ULTRA convincing. And you do all that without even having to think. Amazing!

Good job, as always. I'm definitely voting for Biden. All because of you, bud.

Or maybe....The women caught so much hell from their neighbors - not that TDS folks would do that - they decided to tell a little lie for their own safety...

There you go again trusting politicians more than you trust regular people.

Trust, but verify.

A politician once said that. A wiser one than most.

Will be interesting to see the whole story come out. These days it pays to wait a little bit.
