and it's not good!
Not only do these numbers not compare will to 2016, they do not compare well with other 2020 Trump speeches such as the SOTU. We will see what the RNC ratings look like soon enough, but one might suspect they won't be quite so underwhelming...

I think those "viewership" numbers must include those who passed out in boredom.
As bad as those numbers already are...

Despite their spin, more people are tuning out.
Hard to say whether it's peculiar to the Democrats or just a general exhaustion for politics. (I believe it's the former).
Either way that bodes well for the incumbent. Usually and especially when things are going well (sans pandemic) people need a compelling reason to upset the apple cart and change presidents.
I don't think not personally liking Trump is a good enough reason for most swing voters. Many are old enough to regret the decision to vote for Carter.
How can you upset an apple cart that has already been upset by the incumbent?

Why is Trump having to pay Stormy's legal fees?
He says he never slept with her.
Believe it or not James people liked being employed in high-paying manufacture jobs and have enough disposable income to take a vacation and have some of the nicer things in life.
Under Trump the midwest, and rust belt was making a comeback and fracking lead the the revitalization of the economies in Pennsylvania Texas, Oklahoma, North Dakota and every other state it was allowed.
Unemployment was at a record low and medium incomes were rising.
And it was all due to Trump's tax and trade policies.
That's the apple cart

This was the first case I've heard of where "winner pays".
The case was dismissed but the judge decided that Daniels "prevailed". The judge is not suppose to make those decisions when a case is dismissed.
Trump could appeal but 41 grand is chump change to him it would be less costly than to appeal.
And how could there have been an NDA when nothing ever happened?
An NDA is pretty standard stuff. I have one with my employer.
btw, has anyone thought to look for an NDA between willie brown an da Ho?

even a non-attorney lay person can see the flaw in the judge's ruling. nice piece of judicial activism.
Trump should just deduct the $41 grand off of the $293 grand she owes HIM.
LOL.
What was missing? Three important things. Biden made no mention of
What policies he would implement or how they differed from Trump’s; he simply offered vague picture of a happier, more prosperous future;
Riots and looting in major cities; he ignored them entirely; the closest he came was saying that, during his administration, America would finally rid itself of ‘systemic racism’; he included a sweet vignette of talking to George Floyd’s young daughter, who said her father had changed the world; but there was no mention of the chaos in Portland, Seattle, Chicago, New York, and other cities, which may have begun with Floyd’s killing but is now divorced from it;
Any international threats and challenges, or how he would deal with them differently from Trump, aside from saying he would not ‘cozy up to dictators’. He never mentioned Russia, Iran, North Korea, or terrorism. His one glancing mention of China was that his administration would not depend on them for medical supplies, a policy Trump is already pursuing.
The absence of any policy ideas was striking, especially because so many commentators expected them. The whole convention, they noted, had been devoted to attacking Trump, which left Biden was free to explain what he would do in office and how his policies would make the country better. He didn’t do that. He hardly tried. He simply promised everyone the Christmas presents they were wishing for — and then only in the vaguest terms.

Fact-shaming Michelle Obama's DNC speech
It must be nice being adored by the media, who will never challenge former first lady Michelle Obama no matter what she says. But someone should, just to set the record straight.
In her emotion-driven speech to the virtual Democratic National Convention, Obama made several claims that are at best misleading. She may believe them, but that doesn’t make them true. For example:
“When my husband left office with Joe Biden at his side, we had a record-breaking stretch of job creation.” Obama-Biden did add jobs, 8.9 million by the end of December, 2016. But The Balance ranked that ninth among job-creating presidents. Even Richard Nixon and Jimmy Carter, with only one term, added more jobs than Obama-Biden. Needless to say, “We’re number nine!” doesn’t sound like the best campaign slogan.
Yes, it was a long stretch of job creation, but only because job growth was so slow. Obama-Biden oversaw the slowest economic recovery since World War II, according to CNN — an average of 2 percent a year as compared to the average annual economic growth of 4 percent. Think of it as the “turtle recovery.” It kept moving forward but at a very slow pace.
“We'd secured the right to health care for 20,000,000 people.” On the other hand, millions of Americans — including my wife — lost their health coverage because of ObamaCare. In fact, so many Americans were seeing their coverage canceled that President Obama apologized to the American people on Nov. 7, 2013, essentially conceding that his (in)famous pledge “If you like your health plan you can keep your health plan” was a lie. Indeed, Politifact ranked it the 2013 “Lie of the Year.”
But there is another point that the left, including Michelle Obama, has never acknowledged: Having access to health insurance is not the same as having access to health care. While the Affordable Care Act did expand Medicaid coverage in states that agreed to it, and some uninsured individuals with a preexisting medical condition were able to get coverage, many major health care providers, such as the world-renowned MD Anderson Cancer Center, will not accept ObamaCare — because it’s such bad coverage.
That denial of care is only a preview of what we will see as Biden-Harris move us toward Sen. Bernie Sanders’s (I-Vt.) dream of a government-run health care system.

JAMES SAYS:
But you could not have an NDA with an employer if you have no employer.
So how could Stormy have an NDA with Trump about not disclosing that she slept with him if she never slept with him?

More importantly is that another Republican governor is not going to vote for Trump
Republican Gov. Phil Scott of Vermont says he will not be voting for President Trump in the 2020 White House race and would consider backing former Vice President Joe Biden, the Democratic Party’s nominee. If he breaks party lines to back Biden, he'll be the latest prominent Republican to do so as those who are more moderate come out to oppose Trump.
You used to be a moderate Republican. But not any more
There are going to be a SIZABLE number of Republicans not voting for Trump in this election, perhaps even a large enough number to decide the election.
(Though Biden's victory may be even too large to need that.)
EARLIER, I, JAMES, ASKED:
And how could there have been an NDA when nothing ever happened?
COMMENSA ANSWERED:
An NDA is pretty standard stuff. I have one with my employer.
JAMES SAYS:
But you could not have an NDA with an employer if you have no employer.
COMMENSA:
You can have a NDA anybody. The thing is she signed it and agree to be bound by it.
JAMES:
Your answer is not an answer.
It makes no logical sense, even if it is corrected grammatically to say:
COMMENSA:
You can have a[n] NDA [with] anybody. The thing is[,] she signed it and agree[d] to be bound by it.
JAMES:
That makes no sense, for it would mean that she signed and agreed to be bound by not disclosing something that according to Trump never happened?
So you are admitting that it DID happen, aren't you.

This week’s Democratic National Convention attracted an average nightly television audience of 21.6 million viewers, down roughly 18 percent from 2016 but still a respectable number given how many Americans have turned away from traditional TV sets in favor of online video and streams.
An examination of TV viewing patterns reveals a nation that remains deeply divided, politically and culturally. And it raises questions about which voters chose to focus on the convention and which voters tuned it out.
MSNBC, home of liberal favorites like Rachel Maddow and Nicolle Wallace, had the highest-rated prime-time week in its 24-year history. The channel’s mostly unfiltered coverage of the four-day Democratic jamboree easily ranked ahead of every other TV network on every night.
Fox News, the cable home of Trump cheerleaders like Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham, devoted its 10 p.m. hour to convention coverage. The network recorded its lowest average viewership in the time slot since the start of the year.
Glitches were few, to the great relief of the Democrats’ production team, which oversaw the event from a pair of control rooms in Wilmington and Milwaukee, the original site of the convention before its in-person elements were canceled. The convention had an interactive element, as well, with at least one viewer: President Trump, who reacted in real time, often angrily, to the events unfolding on his screen.
On Thursday, Mr. Trump opted to have his own say on the matter, phoning into Fox News for a live interview on “Hannity” — a breach of past protocol. Presidents have typically deferred to their electoral rivals on the week of a convention.
About 4.6 million people watched Mr. Trump’s half-hour appearance. After he hung up, and the network’s convention coverage began, the Fox News audience fell 36 percent.

You stupid fucks can't even figure this out.
The pledge is given multiple times in multiple settings. The main pledge used "under God". Two of the subgroups removed it. The UNALTERED VIDEO and reporting confirm this. See links previously provided.

Trump calls FDA the ‘deep state,’ accuses agency of delaying vaccine trials to hurt his reelection
Trump went after the Food and Drug Administration, accusing the agency of delaying clinical trials for coronavirus vaccines and treatments as part of a “deep state” plot to hurt his reelection chances.
“The deep state, or whoever, over at the FDA is making it very difficult for drug companies to get people in order to test the vaccines and therapeutics,” Trump tweeted. “Obviously, they are hoping to delay the answer until after November 3rd. Must focus on speed, and saving lives!”
He tagged his own head of the FDA, Stephen Hahn, in the tweet.
Coronavirus update: Trump steps up attacks on FDA’s pandemic response
In a subsequent tweet, he hit the FDA for revoking the emergency use of hydroxychloroquine to treat coronavirus patients, a drug that Trump has touted since the early days of the pandemic even though there is scant evidence of its efficacy.
“Many doctors and studies disagree with this!” Trump tweeted in reply to a two-month old tweet from when the FDA made the decision.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) brought up the president’s FDA tweet during a Capitol Hill news conference, calling it “very scary” and said “everybody should take note of it.”
The FDA’s job is to focus on safety and effectiveness of new drugs, not political expedience.

From roger's OWN LINK
What you need to know
- The phrase “under God” was used during the recitation of the Pledge of the Allegiance at the start of each night of the DNC, Associated Press and PolitiFact confirm.
- The phrase was omitted during at least two individual caucus meetings, though the DNC did not issue any guidelines forbidding the use of the phrase, Snopes confirms.
EXACTLY WHAT WE SAID.
WHY DO YOU CONTINUE TO LIE ?
WHY DID YOU SAY THE VIDEO PRESENTED OF THOSE CAUCUS MEETINGS WAS ALTERED ?
I WON'T ASK WHY VERY lo iq AGREED WITH YOU.

One again for those who didn't actually read the article.\
Some caucuses omitted “under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance during Democratic National Convention meetings. But the line was not excluded from any of the convention’s primetime spots.
Like I said. It's more telling what they do when they thought no one is looking.
And yet Roger persist in this lie. I chalk it up to his mental illness.
IOW'S.....THE DNC STATEMENT IS CORRECT YOU DUMB SHIT.....Your original post said They excised GOD from the pledge....which I took to mean the Democrats......BTW.....if you look at the tapes, they are clearly edited by someone and you still defend the fucking idiots!!!!!!!

ARE ALL DEMOCRATS AS DUMB AS YOU ???
That is a rhetorical question.
Trump is wrong about Nancy Pelosi succeeding him if there is no electoral vote by Jan 20th but the Democrates better hope it's not thrown to the house:
Here's what it says in the 12th amendment:
The person having the greatest Number of votes for President, shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of Electors appointed; and if no person have such majority, then from the persons having the highest numbers not exceeding three on the list of those voted for as President, the House of Representatives shall choose immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing the President, the votes shall be taken by states,the representation from each state having one vote; a quorum for this purpose shall consist of a member or members from two-thirds of the states, and a majority of all the states shall be necessary to a choice. And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in the case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President.
I'm sure there are some democrats (the ones not so well versed in civics and the constitution) that are hoping it's thrown to the house thinking their majority will carry the day. But it won't. When the house selects a president then each state gets one vote and since there are more red states than blue states Trump will win re-election.

(Adds Biden campaign estimate on digital viewership)
By Lisa Richwine
LOS ANGELES, Aug 21 (Reuters) - The closing night of the virtual Democratic National Convention attracted roughly 24.6 million primetime television viewers, the largest audience of the week, according to data from the Nielsen ratings agency.
The number covers viewership across 10 broadcast and cable networks from 10 p.m. to 11:15 p.m. Eastern time. It does not include people who watched via online platforms.
Thursday's proceedings concluded with Joe Biden accepting the Democratic Party's nomination for president in a speech delivered live from his home state of Delaware.
TV viewership was 17% lower than the night in 2016 when Hillary Clinton spoke as the party's first female presidential nominee. But the figures do not include online platforms that have jumped in popularity in the past four years as traditional TV viewership has declined.
Biden's campaign estimated there were an additional 35.5 million live streams over the convention's four days via websites and through digital platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. The statement did not say for how long each viewer streamed the event.
Democrats canceled plans to convene delegates and party leaders in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, due to the coronavirus pandemic. Instead, they staged a virtual event with celebrity moderators introducing live and recorded remarks from around the country.
The TV audience rose on each night of the event, with Monday's kickoff drawing 19.8 million viewers, Nielsen said.
If no candidate receives 270 electoral votes, the House of Representatives will pick the president. Each state delegation gets one vote, regardless of the number of congressional districts it has. 26 votes, representing a majority of the states, are required to win.
The Republicans will have to get the majority, the house of Representatives will have one vote. They need to get 26 states. Speaker Pelosi will be inaugurated by the Chief justice Roberts
Each state could vote either way
Trump won 30 states in 2016 assuming each of those states has a majority republican delegation then Trump would handily win re-election if the election was thrown to the house in 2020.
