Trump's ratings last night are a total disaster (for him)

State Of The Union Ratings Crash

"With non-adjusted fast affiliate results just in, the 2020 SOTU pulled in a mere 15.9 million viewers on the Big 4 networks in the 9 – 10:30 PM ET slot. That’s a dive of 21% from the early numbers of the 82-minute 2019 SOTU..."

though I did momentarily wonder if it was the SOTU when a cow's bladder ruptured and the veterinarian fell head first into the effluvia.

No commercials. It was great then we watched a little bit of a John Wick flick. It was gruesome.

Just how much did Rush pay?

Rush is the #1 seller of baloney and that's about it.

Some have been corrupted, just like Cohen said they were doing. The State Of His Delusion address just made more run from this idiot and corrupt criminal, and when he's exposed more he'll run out probably at night hiding in shame, and waiting for his indictments coming. I never watch him , and turn the channel when he comes on. That's why his ratings for this tanked, he's hated so much.

Walmart parking lot was full, the restaurant was full. They had a TV going with basketball. I thanked them for it, even though I never watch sports.

Much easier on me than watching an ignoramus make a fool of himself. Plus, eating worms is preferable to listening to his grating, whiney voice and his ignominious recounting of the things he never accomplished.

But for a special reason...watching his body language and speech patterns.

He was practically lying down on the podium by the end. At first he held himself up by just his hands,,
but by the halfway point he had gone from hand to forearm and by the end was using his upper arms to brace himself.
And for trump, his walking up the aisle to leave the chamber was extraordinarily low key.
None of his head up, chest out, strut, no lingering, he clearly wanted to get away as fast as he could.

Folks, this is real proof that folks are fed up with this idiot.

I didn't watch, but my family found out about Speaker's rip, and we were delighted. It looks like that totally wiped Dear Impeached Leader's nonsense away, as well as even the Iowa fiasco.

I think folks are ready to get rid of these buffoons in November. While some are lamenting the smaller numbers participating in Iowa, I think that's more to do with how many candidates we have.

As we go through this process and the winner for our nomination becomes clearer, let's unite and defeat this evil. Everyone's entitled to their opinions, but let's root out the bots and trolls, and come together in the coming days and weeks.

It's our last chance for our country.

It was also full of lies and self-aggrandizing statements, but at least everyone is good looking !
