not to mention spending 15 minutes blathering on about how good he is at walking down ramps and drinking glasses of water.... and they consider this to be a good thing for them?



They do know that most of the people tuning in were just rubbernecking, right?

They are desperate to put a positive spin on this fiasco. The fact is their base is starting to bleed out. It wasn't long ago that the Joint Chiefs told him to f/o, he's lost two rulings with the S/C, and some republican Senators are beginning to freak. It's starting to look like popcorn time for the rest of us. Yum.

There is no guaranteed way to compile streaming statistics, accurately in 48 hours.
Too many platforms, too many paths.
I don't believe the number.

...they could aggregate. But, not in less than 48 hours.
Also, it's dumb because how many liberals clicked on a live feed to see what turn out looked. Saw it was empty and deleted the tab.
They'd count, but they never really intended to watch!
