7+million tuned into Fox. I'll concede 98% were Trumpers. But another 5MM people watched thru ABC/NBC/CBS/MSNBC. Doubtful 10% were true Trumpers. Listening to this commentaryalongside the actual convention would be too damn painful. Bet tonight is even less. I further imagine ABC/NBC/CBS/MSNBC will remain steady, but the Fox numbers are going to be like a Trump walk down a ramp.
Another related point. How many Trumpers watched the DNC Convention? A lot smaller % than sane people watching the RNC who are trying to understand this non-Party.

About 17 million tuned in on the Republican conventions first night, compared with 19.7 million for the Democrats. Close to half of TV viewers at 10 p.m. were watching Fox News.
