"The Democratic convention this week beat its Republican counterpart on three out of four nights, thanks in part to memorable prime-time speeches by President Obama, Michelle Obama and former President Bill Clinton — not to mention a song by the pop star Demi Lovato. Presidents, it turns out, may be bigger draws than sitcom stars like Scott Baio, one of Mr. Trump’s featured speakers. On average, 26.2 million viewers watched the Democrats each night, compared to 24.6 million for the Republicans, Nielsen said.

It is tempting to extrapolate political support from television ratings, but many Americans now watch political speeches on the web, and tuning in to a candidate does not necessarily correlate with a vote. But the prevailing view in the broadcast world on Friday was that, spectacle-wise, the Democrats had simply put on a better show."

Trump for Prison 2016
 
Trump lost the ratings war?

Trump for prison.

:D "Trump had no former presidents at his convention, and on a couple of nights there were long pauses during the prime 10 p.m. hour, leaving commentators scrambling to fill airtime. The second night’s program finished about 20 minutes early, wasting valuable prime-time exposure. None of the three broadcast networks cut away when Mr. Obama, Mr. Clinton and Senator Bernie Sanders spoke past 11 p.m. That choice irked the Republican National Committee, whose communications director, Sean Spicer, issued a statement accusing the networks of unequal coverage."
