Who knew that competence, diversity, love and tolerance would draw a bigger audience than the Trump shitshow?
That said, the preliminary broadcast ratings for night one of the DNC are a little higher than those of the RNC: The DNC clocked in with 10.54 million total viewers and a 2.5 demo rating. The RNC weighed in with 10.1 million total and a 2.3 demo rating. Cable ratings released later this afternoon will give a fuller picture.
… and those preliminary numbers don’t even include expected increase in viewership during Bernie Sanders’ speech, since that ran past the 11 pm ET time that ratings trackers stop tracking.
And how much do you want to bet that Clinton’s speech outdraws Trump’s?
