All major networks covered the DNC. Will they do the same for the RNC?

If the RNC can draw people to watch they will cover it...

The DNC had the lowest numbers ever... with people stuck at home with no sports, new movies, or sitcoms to watch on TV...pretty sad...

So, we will see if Trump brings in the audience, or if his numbers are as low.

The citizens may just be weary of hearing about politics since everything in life is so political now.
 
I really thought I remember every night of the DNC on ABC, CBS, NBC. I looked at the lineup starting at 8 pm tonight... PBS has coverage, none of the other networks do. Call me shocked.... NOT!
 
First impression....so far the production quality is far better than the Dem convention.
 
As painful is it is for me to say something positive about a UGA guy, Herschel Walker's speech was pretty good.
I can remember when he couldn't even speak proper English. He had to take lessons after he graduated UGA. It was rumored in the USFL that he could barely read and had to have a tutor to learn plays. I really think he was cheated out of an education all the way through his early life.

To his credit he was always humble and became a fine man.
 
"Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer literally started wearing kente cloths around the US Capitol, as if pandering was enough to keep us satisfied." - Vernon Jones

Very good first night for the RNC. Production quality was top notch. Most speakers were very compelling.
