Porn viewership hits all-time high in Cleveland during Republican National Convention

[n2doc]

The party of Lincoln, it appears, is also the party of porn.

In Cleveland, where Donald Trump was nominated by his party’s delegates Tuesday afternoon, porn viewership has surpassed—for the first time—New York City, Miami, and Los Angeles, according to a leading adult-video streaming service.

The increase in Cleveland porn traffic during the Republican National Convention is allegedly 184 percent higher than usual, xHamster reports. Cleveland is making history in all sorts of ways, shattering its previous record for porn viewership while topping out at 873,294 views.

There are more people in Cleveland watching porn right now, xHamster says, than when the Cavaliers won the NBA championship (though, it’s not entirely clear what one has to do with the other).

1. Well it is summer and all TV has on is reruns.....

2. How are they definining porn? Many would say that the convention itself is a form of porn.

It's vulgar, crass, and appeals to prurient interests. I know it when I see it.

19. Don't insult porn by comparing it to the Republican convention.

Porn is an honorable profession in which individual performers are proud of their work. The Republican Party Convention is the equivalent of a washed up prostitute giving a hand job in a back alley for two dollars, believing that if she can turn just one more trick that she can bring back the magic.

3. I thought the RNC had declared porn Public Enemy #1.

[Moostache]

4. Its a terrible emergency...

There simply is not enough kinky porn to whet their collective appetite!
They demand higher quality, lower cost porn for all white men over 65 with steady access to Viagra, and they want it NOW!!!

5. Well yeah....then there's that

[rurallib]

7. it needs a lot of study

not sure if they form a committee for this study or if it is done as individuals

[TexasBushwhacker]

8. They're all researching the problem n/t

[MurrayDelph]

13. They think it's part of a farewell tour

Just before my bariatric surgery last year, I had to travel through Nevada. I made a stop at one of their buffets, figuring it would be the last time I would ever get my money's worth again.

The RNC delegates are just trying to get one last bite before they set up their theocracy.

17. It's called research

[GulfCoast66]

18. Oh, you must have misunderstood.

That is only when we watch it.

See, they are forgiven, don't ya know.

[True Dough]

6. The word going around

is that "Little Hands, Big Mouth Screws the Entire Country" is the title getting the most orders from Republican porn customers.

[liberal N proud]

9. Party of "family" values

I wonder if they watch porn as a family.

[WhiteTara]

10. Is that why the RNC says porn is a major problem?

they know how much they watch?

[Gidney N Cloyd]

11. I'm not going to be able to keep a straight face watching the hall clear out at 9PM each night.

12. Wonder how the local escort services are doing?

When the RNC was in San Diego back in the 90's, the claim was that local escort services, strip joints, hourly rate hotels and hookers in general made more money that week than in any other week before - or since.

14. The Moral Majority had the same problem years ago.

A hotelier's report came out when MM was still in existence. They showed just how profitable porn on thei hotel cable systems was. And then they showed the spike in usage whenever the Southern Baptists, MM, and other conservative christian groups would meet at a convention.

MM's leader started a movement to boycott any hotel or chain that allowed porn on its cable and even went on national TV complaining about porn. The reaction was . . . meh . . . go cheney yourself.

Funny. Now the platform for the GOP wants to call porn a crime. WHILE the conventioneers all seem to be watching it, both on stage and in their hotel rooms.

16. I know I shouldn't say it, but

They are probably doing research on their possible new First Lady.....
