what they watch will have zero impact on the ratings.
Despite what QAnon and certain fucked-in-the-head Republicans like to claim. the "Deep State" has no fucking idea what you're watching.

getting the ratings. Because for them, as Moonves said in 2016, trump is bad for democracy but great for ratings. Sigh.

Or I will listen to see if Trump still sounds sick.

That would be my only reason for listening.

about the fact that his Town Hall had twice the number of viewers.
The reason? Would you rather watch an hour-long video of a train goin down the tracks, or clips of massive train wrecks?

Me, I hope the Lincoln Project will have a post-town-hall analysis on both events afterwards on YouTube. Their commentary on the Trump town hall should be verrrry entertaining.

I thing he is gonna be the usual COMPLETE ASSHOLE and will actually lose votes.

I just don't believe he will come off as "Presidential" and gain votes. Anyone of us who watches his shitshow will:

1. Already be voting for Joe
2. Will DVR Joe to watch later
3. have a good laugh at his insanity

Just don't thing "the ratings" of his townhall will change a single vote for tRump. If anything he will LOSE votes...

IMHO

“I’ve done so good with Covid I caught it intentionally to show everyone it’s not dangerous.”

“Hunter Biden was given a job”

“If you vote for Joe Biden all the kids in orphanages will develop rickets and pinworms”

“Joe Biden and Barack Obama spied on my campaign”

It doesn’t take a psychic to know what trash he’s going to spew.

I an catch plenty of comedy gold on YouTube clips from the broadcast, without giving the orange baboon any help in the ratings.
