Just reported that an average of 29.9 million watched Trump during the 10pm hour last night.

Comparison?

DNC '12 (final night): 35.7m
RNC '12 (final night): 30.3m
DNC '08 (final night): 38.4m
RNC '08 (final night): 38.9m

Sorry Donald...ratings loser.

1. Can they account for when people turned the ranting baboon off?

I bet they lost half of that number 15 minutes in.

[tallahasseedem]

3. Most of those ratings...

were probably Dems tuning in to watch the shit show.

[PatSeg]

8. That is a very good point

I watched it every night and can't say that was true in 2008 or 2012.

[John Poet]

57. I watched a few minutes of him somewhere in the middle,

but then I couldn't take it any more.

[calimary]

34. Which ranting baboon? Oh yeah - the one who went on last, last night, right?

But there were lots of 'em last night, although not in the "big three" networks' prime time window.

There was a load of 'em on Wednesday night, too.

And another load of 'em on Tuesday night.

And another load of 'em on Monday night!

It was a Bevy of Ranting Baboons! Beaucoup de Baboons! A Bonanza of Baboons! I could keep going...

[pnwmom]

35. Or the people like me who watched with the volume on "mute"?

[woolldog]

51. I'm a political junkie and I went to bed

about 30 minutes in.

[Iliyah]

2. Also, don't they come out with bump bullshit?

I mean, ain't he gold?????

[kimbutgar]

4. I watched just the end when he thanked his family leaving Triffany out

Couldn't stomach all the hate and spewing out of his toilet mouth.

[tallahasseedem]

5. That must have been horrifying for her...

I actually felt bad. To have him single out Melania and Ivanka right in front of her? Yikes!

[kimbutgar]

7. I also felt bad for her

She was a child he had that he was forced to marry the Mother. Something tells me Daddy doesn't love her like his Ivanka.

[Lochloosa]

14. Let's hope not....

[GoCubsGo]

49. Yeah, she is probably happy it's not the case.

At least she doesn't have her dad feeling her up after she introduced him, as he did with Ivanka. Or, claiming he'd screw her if she wasn't his daughter.

[No Vested Interest]

20. Unfortunately, she's likely heard it before and is used to

being snubbed by her father.

[pnwmom]

37. Narcissists always have a favorite, and she's obviously not the favorite daughter. n/t

[Expecting Rain]

31. To be fair, he also left out Don Jr and Eric in that moment.

Not just Tiffany

[Still In Wisconsin]

46. I wonder if he apologized to her for the omission...

Nah.

[Cattledog]

6. Can we get a link for this?

When I post elsewhere I like to have a source.

Thanks!

[tallahasseedem]

9. It's on Twitter...

but I will post a link if I come across one!

[Cattledog]

10. 31 million watched.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/tv-ratings-donald-trumps-rnc-913569

Beats Romney, but way behind McCain in 2008.

[tallahasseedem]

11. Still less than the captured guy!

[Cattledog]

12. Indeed!

[Stellar]

13. I certainly didn't watch on TV, or streaming. nt

[Democat]

15. Where are all of the posters concerned about Clinton?

This must be bad news for Democrats somehow?

[treestar]

16. LOL

IKR?

[forest444]

17. Plus, it went on forever.

At 75 minutes, I believe it's the longest since the 19th century.

Which stands to reason, since this is the most medieval major party ticket since the 19th century (at least!).

[ailsagirl]

19. OMG-- it was THAT long???

Yikes!!!!!!!!!!

[forest444]

22. I went through a thermos full of peppermint tea to get through it.

My dark side was hoping for at least a scuffle or two to ease the boredom.

[ailsagirl]

28. How ironic (again) that the person with the least to say takes the longest to say it

[forest444]

32. The Donald does love to hear himself talk.

[calimary]

41. GOOD one!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

54. Trying to give Fidel Castro competition I guess

[uponit7771]

55. We all literally fell asleep

[the48er]

18. Sad.

[jtuck004]

21. What was the rating for Battlebots? It was a lot better. n/t

[doc03]

23. Oh my god there is an ad for Trump on your post, it says

Leading the Way. There is a picture of the Donald pointing in the air, I swear it reminds me of the Nazi salute.

[tallahasseedem]

24. Ack!

How in the world did that get there? I have ad block so I don't see anything!

[doc03]

26. I don't have ad blocker, I don't think he will get many convets around here. n/t

[tallahasseedem]

27. Very true!

[doc03]

25. Oh no there is another one Aspire to Greatness showing the Donald and next

to him an astronaut in moon walk gear.

[yeoman6987]

29. I pray Hillary has at least 30 million or we'll never hear the end of it

Viewing habits changed a ton in 4 years. I will wait till next Friday to celebrate the idiots disaster on this subject at least.

[Kingofalldems]

44. Good try.

[RandiFan1290]

59. How are the ratings going?

You were posting about the RNC #s

What's happening at DNC?

[doc03]

30. Now they have another Leading the Way Trump in front of a flag on one

side and the Marines planting the flag in WWII.

[jamese777]

33. 38 million watched Obama in 2008 n/t

[kwolf68]

36. similar may happen with the Dems - a downturn

Although I do like the trending of the Reps.

If at least 35m watch the DNC then I like that sign.

[tallahasseedem]

38. The Dem convention...

typically brings in lower ratings. Mostly because the right does not tune in at all. Well, that's my guess.

[uponit7771]

56. Not the last two elections... Dems convention had high ratings

[SunSeeker]

39. The RNC was boring and gross. nt

[world wide wally]

40. Incredibly stupid…. very very stupid…. believe me…. bad

[Mc Mike]

42. Way to go, 'leader' donnie,

way to go.

[Joe the Revelator]

43. Whoa, that's actually surprising to me...I wonder if they took into account all the streams...

That's how I watched the entire thing.

[tallahasseedem]

47. Probably not...

but the fact that the hard numbers are lower makes me laugh because you know it's pushing yam over the edge. In the mind of his, he probably thought he'd get super bowl numbers!

[Still In Wisconsin]

45. I used to have a pair of paper donkey ears that I would tape to the TV whenever W would speak...

I just might have to make a new pair!

[tallahasseedem]

50. That's a great idea!

I would personally make devil horns for Donny.

[avaistheone1]

48. I've watched alot of conventions over the years and

the RNC convention was not exciting at all. It was boring.

[JustAnotherGen]

52. And a lot of his viewers

Were just rubber necking or making fun of him.

[Gothmog]

53. Trump is in denial

[greymattermom]

58. This is very good news

We really need all the networks to stop interrupting regular program to show Trump's speeches. We've all seen them, there's nothing new, and so much free publicity is starting to look really bad. If everyone just turns off the tv when Trump comes on, maybe they will get the message. If his ratings aren't good, he'll have to pay for air time like everyone else does, and Hillary has some very effective commercials.

[reggieandlee]

60. thanks for posting

where do you get that data?
