RNC Convention wins on Ratings

Reality TV: Trump beats Hillary in ratings game, Republicans drew bigger audience in final 2 days of convention, 7/29/16, WND

If TV ratings are any indication, Hillary Clinton’s acceptance speech apparently didn’t interest Americans as much as it interested establishment media, which lauded it as a historic moment.

According to unofficial early figures, the Republicans bested the Democrats on convention Day 4, with Donald Trump’s acceptance speech in Cleveland July 21 drawing about 30.2 million viewers compared to Clinton’s 27.8 million Thursday night. The figures are from NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News Channel and MSNBC.

Clinton’s husband, former President Bill Clinton, appeared to reflect the overall national mood when he was caught on camera with his eyes closed during the acceptance speech, and speculation quickly spread on social media that he had fallen asleep.

On Tuesday night, the three cable news channels and the three major broadcast networks drew a combined average audience of 24.7 million from 10-11:15 p.m. During that time, former President Bill Clinton took nearly 50 minutes to make a case for his wife, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. 
The audience for the second night of the DNC, 25.12 million across the six major networks, was nearly 5 million more than Night 2 of the RNC.

CNN also led the broadcast and cable competition in the 25-54 demographic, the Los Angeles Times reported.
