Donald Trump handed CNN a ratings gift very early this morning and another reason to demand that CNN pay him when he announced he will live tweet the networks Democratic debate tonight.
News of the GOP front-runners plans had pundits adjusting upwards their ratings forecasts for tonights debate. Yesterday conventional wisdom had the debate clocking in at 8-million-ish, mirroring Dem debates best numbers in the last presidential election cycle. This morning, the 12-15M-ish forecast yesterday by one or two media navel lint gazers...

I’m not a Trump supporter (will vote for him IF he is the nominee though), but I love it when he taunts the establishment politicians!
Good, because I don't have cable. :-)
I couldn’t bear to watch it.
Thats what I had in mind!
The Donald isn’t my first choice either (Go CRUZ!) but if he is the nominee I would vote for him with a smile on my face.
It would make for a VERY entertaining 4 (or 8) years.
It would be nice to have a single Trump Twitter Thread .
Hey friend. I am following the FR thread instead and watching Donald’s tweets. Will get plenty of comments on the debate from Rush tomorrow too! I just refuse to give CNN any more ratings! :)
Maybe at some point, Trump will start tweeting stuff like "ZZzzzzzzzZZzzz
" or similar accurate, yet derisive comments.
I like the way you think.
Right now, his tweets and other's tweets to him are the only redeeming feature of this lie-fest.
I am not watching--tonight's my night to sort my sock drawer. ;)
Hope you are well, and your little dog, too.
if you can, can you post his tweets?
thank you!
I am twitter and Facebook illiterate
How do I see just what Trump writes?
thx but can you explain how the read the stuff?
Usually the tweets that Trump writes will be in a larger font.
That means he is the writer.
The smaller font are re-tweets, which he sometimes comments on after the end of the tweet. Same font, so can be confusing.
I am SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad I do not have cable or satellite TV... Watching Trump’s twitter feed is certainly entertaining!
thx but can you explain how the read the stuff?
i figured out that the person cpmmenting is the @ but it’s too much noise form me
The latest tweets are on the top of the “page”.
His tweets are in a larger font—means he is the author.
Tweets from other people that he is re-tweeting appear in a smaller font. Sometimes he adds a comment at the end. Same font, though.
There also is a timestamp on each tweet which tells you how long ago the tweet or re-tweet was posted.
To keep the page going , you have to refresh it from time to time. This is usually a circular arrow on the top left of your screen for Windows.
The multiple “@’ signs means the tweet is being copied to others.
The hashtags refer to either a real Twiiter page that collects these comments on a subject or sometimes is just a humorous title for a non-existent hashtag.
I’ll try...
