The PBS crew that was present last week for OUR convention will also be present for theirs. I don't know how they're going to bear it.

If they can, then maybe I can!

That barely anyone on DU will commit to watching the whole RNC shithow. Why should we?

Instead, YouTube links of the most cloth-eared and embarrassing segments will be freely shared here in GD and they will be given the disdain and hillarity they deserve.

Unless we have a Neilsen Box and participate in the Neilsen ratings, nothing any of us can do, whether we watch #TraitorTrump's shit-show or not, will have any effect on his ratings.

Wish that wasn't so. I would love to give him the lowest ratings of his entire lifetime. Especially for this Republican 'convention', which #DementoDonald is not only "starring" in but "producing" as well.

Horrifying that he will spew his lies & nastiness every single night -

Should've had that on my bingo card..Clearly he has a desperate need to expose himself every chance he gets.

Have fun watching a clown trying to ad lib his lies into one coherent package.

Keep track of the number of times Kamala's name is mispronounced and win a prize!

See and hear the answers to the most amazing questions.

Will they wear mask?

Will anyone care about all those dead people?

Will anyone smile, laugh or stutter?

Will they replace one dummy with another dummy, or will they just use the real dummy instead.

There's something for the whole family, and it's so unbelievably funny, you won't even know your laughing.

How convenient is that?

I'll watch so you don't have to.

By the time it opens, Trump will be going into his "hugest" toddler tantrum and someone will have to put him in a corner for a timeout.

He's fallen too far down for Ivanka or Hope Hicks to pull him back out.

Besides, Rachel Maddow, Nicolle Wallace, Joy Reid and Brian Williams will keep the humor going and soften the sting.

and DU, and listen and see people make fun of the RNC convention.

Tip for people with SiriusXM: You can listen to that shitshow on SXM without giving them the ratings, because SXM has no way of telling who is listening to what.
