“I looked up the numbers from the past:
2008 both Obama and McCain got about 39 million
2012: Obama got 33.5, Romney got 30”
These numbers are just for TV viewers, I believe. They don’t include the millions of people who watched the conventions by internet streaming video. It may be that Trump was watched by more people in history to match his yuge primary voting numbers.
Who watched TV anymore except for old people?
Streaming is where it is at with the under 40 crowd
