Not so sure about that. Half of those watching Hellary’s speech next week are going to be there to see her head spin around like a top. She could set viewing records.
I watched on DirecTV...wonder if they counted that?
Even the call in's after the convention show were good!
I can assure you folks,that Trumps speech drew more the 50,000,000 viewers and listeners on TV & radio. add to those numbers FBN, Bloomberg, BBC America, OAN, Netflex, and hundreds of “Live Stream” phone and IPad voewers!!! The media especially, “Hollywood Reporter, Deadline Hollywood, “Nielson Ratings” is one and the same with Oabama & Clinton, the lies tellers of all time!!! Trump hit a grand slam homerun some 560 ft.
When the final “real” numbers of Trump speech viewers emerges....you will all be amazed at the record numbers of viewers Trump attracted, who stayed tuned to the entire speech!!
Being in July doesn’t help either. People are in the heart of summer activities, travel etc. mccain’s was in September if I remember right. I think the technology change is the bigger driver.

McCain drew more viewers because Sarah Palin was on the ticket. Absolutely.
“Falls Far Short of McCain” ... really?
The viewers of the 2008 McAmnesty speech were not watching to see Juan ... they were waiting to see Sarah !!
Falls Far Short of McCain..
I remember that speech.
I tuned in to watch Sara Palin not McCain.
Falls Far Short of McCain/ Palin.....
I watched the whole thing on CSPAN...no commercials, no talking-head commentary.
Keeping it real. It’s amazing what you hear when there’s no “anchor” translating English, into English, of everything that is said.
By watching this way, you immediately pick up the lies as reported later by the MSM.
Hollywood Reporter’s point is Trump lacks the curiousity and enthusiasm that McCain had.
Well that’s ok, Donald Trump is going to be our next President, and John Insane McCain is going to be looking forward to Green Jello Day in whatever nursing home he retires to after Kelli Ward kicks his geriatric ass down the road.
I turned off the TV because of all the distracting crap at the bottom and the interruptions by the commentators and went to the live feed on the internet.
This is EXACTLY what is NOT being considered, live streaming now is HUGE not so much when McShame was running!!!
Since they didn’t count C span which at least cut out the crapola commentary numbers are probably off some.
I personally don’t care about tv ratings
Exactly. More and more households have cut the cord with cable TV. Why subscribe?
Exactly, Palin was the star, not McDemocrat!
By excluding PBS this cycle, they missed 2.75 million people.
I don’t know the CSPAN numbers, but they would be significant. Plus, there are a number of people watching on the internet or the RNC cable feed, which is not mentioned.
It’s at least 35 million right now, if not more.
We had PBS on mute, but watched on YouTube. The bias was obvious when you had the RNC feed and compared it to what PBS wanted us to see.
