Another night, another Democratic ratings win, just like the first two days of the convention.
Overnight Nielsen ratings indicate that Wednesday night's DNC viewership was about 15% higher than last Wednesday night's coverage of the RNC.
As we know, Donald Trump is obsessed with ratings, and while he boasted of his yuuuge ratings last week, he didn’t even surpass those of John McCain eight years ago. Tonight, Hillary Clinton is slated to deliver to Trump a humiliating ratings loss, but Trump doesn’t go down without a fight! So he’s pathetically begging his supporters to not tune in:
"Unless you want to be lied to, belittled, and attacked for your beliefs, don't watch Hillary's DNC speech tonight," the email read. "Instead, help Donald Trump hold her accountable, call out her lies and fight back against her nasty attacks."
It kinda does make sense, however. Just imagine what would happen if people realized she’s not the caricature painted by the Right (and some on the Left)? What would that do to Trump’s already shrinking base?
Keeping his supporters inside the conservative bubble is the best shot he has.
