    How about zero presence of former presidents or even nominees from the party?

    That’s unprecedented.

    Only non-witches get due process.

      It is and yet this election may be close? What does that say about the other side?

        Well the fact that all living presidents and First Ladies and every living nominee spoke, says they’ve managed not to get hijacked yet. Key word being ‘yet’.

        Only non-witches get due process.

          It says the other side has more support from former Presidents and former Presidential nominees. The side that has no such support sucks bigly.

              And yet the DNC is playing defense after the event. Looks like Trump won the convention round. So much nervousness. Frankly I am surprised too.

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

                  Jesus H. Christ. You democrats have list your fucking minds. TV viewership dropped sharply from a year ago as well. It wasn't because people preferred the democrat convention over the Republican convention, you fools. It was because a third of the country was trying to deal with a hurricane .

                  Get a grip.

                        the Republican National Convention brought in 147.9 million total views across television and online between Monday and the end of Thursday night's programming, according to a senior campaign official.

                        The DNC convention, as Fox News previously reported, had 122 million total viewers through television and online.

                          If true the total on-line is interesting from two perspectives:

                          1. Why is it not be measured when publicly reporting results
                          2. Seems counterintuitive that GOP would have more on-line users

                              I also am surprised that both numbers are that high, considering a population of 350 million or so. Half the people watched?

                                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.

                                The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                    If true the total on-line is interesting from two perspectives:

                                    1. Why is it not be measured when publicly reporting results
                                    2. Seems counterintuitive that GOP would have more on-line users

                                        @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?

                                          https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/30/chad-wolf-naturalization-republican-convention-405214

                                          "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?
