Trump blames GOP as Dems top RNC ratings

GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump distanced himself from the planning of last week’s Republican National Convention after the Democrats’ event, which ended Thursday, posted higher television ratings.

“I didn’t produce the show — I just showed up for the final speech on Thursday,” the Republican presidential nominee told The New York Times when asked about the differences between the two parties’ conventions.

Neilson ratings data obtained by the Los Angeles Times found that Democrats edged out Republicans during each of the first three nights of the convention. Ratings for Thursday night have not been released, so it is not yet possible to compare ratings for Trump’s and Democrat Hillary Clinton’s acceptance speeches.

I beg to differ with The Hill but a 15% to 20% difference is more like getting clobbered in the ratings.

He lost big on TV ratings. He's losing his temper constantly. He's the biggest, fattest, most small-handed loser in the history of biggest losers.
