Nolte: CNN and Flameout Beto O’Rourke Double the Ratings Failure

[Red Badger]

Far-left CNN decided to hold a town hall with fake Hispanic Beto O’Rourke and the results were as disastrous as you might expect.

Only 719,000 people tuned in.

I know what you’re thinking — you’re thinking this town hall must have aired in the morning, or on a Sunday night, or opposite the Game of Thrones finale…

Nope, nope, nope, nope… Tuesday night prime time… and only 719,000 tuned in.

If you are looking for something to compare it to, during that same hour, Fox News attracted 2.4 million viewers, while MSNBC earned 2.3 million.

But somehow the news get worse…

You know how we are always laughing at how awful CNN’s ratings are because CNN’s ratings are so awful…? Get this…

Paddy O’Rourke’s appearance drove CNN’s already cosmically low ratings down even further. Deadline reports “O’Rourke’s numbers fell 29% shy CNN’s 2019 average in the Tuesday night block of time, and 38% short in the news demo.”

But somehow it gets even worse…

O’Rourke attracted fewer viewers than a Democrat Presidential candidate I’ve never heard of named John Hickenlooper. This Hickenlooper fella was able to scrape up 745,000 CNN viewers during a March town hall.

In the realm of bad ideas, in the world of godawful concepts, who thought combining Flameout O’Rourke with Basement-Rated CNN was a winner?

[Leaning Right]

Beto should have been waving his hands and eating dirt the whole time. Think of the people who would have tuned in just to see what the heck was going on.

Whitey O’Rourke should hang it up, he’s going nowhere.

I get the feeling the entire bunch is auditioning for Biden’s #2.

Or positioning for 2024.

[Conserv]

Almost everyone knows that Beta is a moron who is absolutely in love with himself.

[chief lee runamok]

What a clumsy oaf.

[Theodore R.]

Exactly: they are all candidates to be Biden’s running mate.
Except Sanders. Is there any polling on Beto’s popularity in the 2020 TX primary?

I think that the singer Beck summarized Irish Bob’s campaign with these lyrics:

Soy un perdedor
I’m a loser, baby

[Army Air Corps]

The travails of Irish Bob ping.

Perhaps he’ll share other personal grooming habits on Social media.

Gilligan's Island reruns get higher ratings.

[Red Badger]

I have the complete set of ALL the shows on DVD!

Even have the PILOT Movie that was NEVER AIRED!

No Mary Ann but different Ginger, different Professor and a young woman named ‘Bunny’ and had a young married couple with the Howells and Skipper and Gilligan...........

Here is original intro:

The Beatles:

“I’m A Loser”

I’m a loser
I’m a loser
And I’m not what I appear to be

Of all the love I have won or have lost
There is one love I should never have crossed
She was a girl in a million, my friend
I should have known she would win in the end

I’m a loser
And I lost someone who’s near to me
I’m a loser
And I’m not what I appear to be

Although I laugh and I act like a clown
Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown
My tears are falling like rain from the sky
Is it for her or myself that I cry

I’m a loser
And I lost someone who’s near to me
I’m a loser
And I’m not what I appear to be

What have I done to deserve such a fate
I realize I have left it too late
And so it’s true, pride comes before a fall
I’m telling you so that you won’t lose all

I’m a loser
And I lost someone who’s near to me
I’m a loser
And I’m not what I appear to be

BetoJuice, BetoJuice, BetoJuice. When does he start selling guacamole bowls as a fundraiser?

Maybe he could film himself sneaking across the border into the US, just like all of his pretend Mexican friends named Beto.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

I get the feeling the entire bunch is auditioning for Biden’s #2.

That's a pretty stinky job.

[samtheman]

I bet he spends most of his time scheming ways to divert his campaign millions to his favorite charity.

[SamAdams76]

That's not really him, is it?

Hilarious!

[Vince Ferrer]

Hickenlooper has at least been elected. How did a guy who failed to be elected senator be considered to be ahead od a twice elected governor.

[Red Badger]

Hardly anybody outside CO has ever heard of him.

Beto has National Name Recognition from his battle with Cruz.............

[rhinohunter]

I get the feeling the entire bunch is auditioning for Biden’s #2.

Surely Bernie and any other straight white guys aren’t under the illusion that they have any chance of being Biden’s #2...

[jim35]

Heh heh. Beta/Betty O’Rourke should have ridden his skateboard more. Right out the door. Also, a good pratfall might have doubled the ratings.
