Trump Acceptance Speech Bombs
Does Same Ratings As Romney, Less Than McCain.
The myth that Donald Trump is a special political ratings draw was smashed as Trump’s acceptance speech had about the same number of viewers as Mitt Romney’s did in 2012, and 10 million fewer viewers than John McCain did in 2008.
Donald Trump promised that he would double the television ratings for his convention, Trump’s screaming rant of an acceptance speech drew 30 million viewers + streaming, which was on par with what Mitt Romney drew in 2012.
Trump began with big plans.
In May, Politico reported, “From speaking slots to prime-time moments reserved for himself, the television celebrity and Manhattan billionaire is dealing directly in the details of his coronation as Republican nominee to maximize the drama and spectacle of the party’s four-night convention.”
Trump wanted to go big on entertainment. He wanted sports stars, or as he calls them, “winners” to speak at his convention.
One by one, the winners turned him down. Tom Brady said no. Tim Tebow said no.
Even Chicago Bears coaching legend Mike Ditka said no.
The RNC squashed Trump’s plan to have convicted murderer and boxing promoter Don King speak that convention, and after a huge public outcry, Trump had to scrap his plan to have convicted rapist Mike Tyson speak at the convention.
What Trump ended up with was a bunch of his friends, people who never spoke a political convention before, the fringes of the Republican Party, Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, a diss from Ted Cruz, and tons of Trump family.

Re: Trump Acceptance Speech Bombs
Good summation, Dolly. I see it the same way but Trump supporters will still vote for him.
It's so vital that WE get people out to vote and DT does not get away with buying votes. I think he will pay people to vote for him. That's what he's saving his money for..... He's a dirty player.
That younger son has thug-like qualities....lol.

I'll tell you something the media isn't revealing about the event. Cleveland bars & restaurants lost money. Between the fencing, protesters & militant police presence many businesses failed to make any money much less a profit! They made more after the sh!t show left town. So the media can tell you how great it was, but that isn't entirely true! Trump screwed us, just as I had predicted.
I will not kneel before Zod.
