More eyes, bigger bounce.

The Dems: 24.7 million last night.
The CONS: 19.75 million on their second night.

The Dems got 25.12 million on Night 2 in 2012, so this year's numbers are slightly down. But either convention year beats the ratings the CONS got last week.

Sorry Donald. More people watched OUR show.
