    Yesterday Trump supporters were saying, before the two town halls, that Trump with mop the floor with Biden in terms of viewership ratings. Guess what? Nope.

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/biden-tops-trump-for-town-hall-television-ratings-180029137.html

    And observe that they are adding Trump's NBC to MSNBC and CNBC when they only give Biden the ABC figures (without considering ABC News where I watched the debate and many others did) and even so, Biden still beat Trump.

    LOL, too funny.

    If Trumpists are not worried about November 3rd, it's because they are totaly reckless.

    There are too many signs pointing to a Trump defeat, too many paths to a Biden victory.

    I think all the tRUMPers not posting here is a prime example of the trouble tRUMP is in.

    I'm sorta looking forward to the feeble excuses/conspiracy theories. Nielsen part of the 'Deep State anyone?

    Trumpers aren't looking for excuses because they think he's gonna lose. They actually believe he is going to destroy Biden.

    I worry for their mental health if Biden wins as this is starting to look may happen.

    On another forum site, there's a thread about how NBC wasn't carrying it in all NBC markets. In other words, local affiliates could override the network programming.
    But, no link or actual story was given.

    We heard Biden would weasel out of the debates. But that was Trump.
    We heard that Biden couldn't get an audience if he tried. But he beat Trump in the ratings.
    Now, we look to next week and the final debate. What will happen there?

    Trump was all set to start bragging about his ratings. This must really frost him!

    Still no trumpers in the thread. They must be in shock and awe.

    Guess no talking points have come out... So many of them said trump would double (one even went as far as to say triple) Biden’s ratings — I would call them into the thread but trump supporters apparently don’t like having their words used against them...

    November will be hilarious, at least until the scorched earth campaign from trump and his supporters begins.

    “Adding”? In much of the west Trumps town hall wasn’t aired on NBC and if you don’t have cable you couldn’t watch it on the other stations.

    Can you watch ABC without cable or a stand alone subscription?

    LOL - they haven't been told what to say, yet!

    I mostly voted republican and third party. One D got my vote - Biden!!

    I abhor the thought of either team having complete control of Congress and the WH. I'm sort of starting to hope that happens. It might wake people up. Very few are thrilled with the lefty agenda, so if they do win handily, that won't be the reason.

    I have been split on most of my votes until this one. Straight Democrat ticket — I don’t know if I will ever be able to vote Republican again.
    I do not like Biden in the slightest but the Republican party is gone, it is now the party of trump

    There are republicans running from Trump. Check out Senator Sasse. Trump is calling him names, now. Trump also predicting a tidal wave of red. LOL.

    I feel like they are only doing that because trump is likely to lose.

    True, but maybe the thought of being called names by the president for four years was a bit too much. I dunno - his cult followers are strange. McConnell may have put pressure on them to comply.

    I don't think there are cult followers. For a Nationalist like myself, Trump has no one to blame but himself, he first started by appeasing the neoconservatives(went absolutely nowhere.). Then his tweets constantly did him in, while the conspiracy theory swallowed his entire Presidency. Can we name a SINGLE thing that got done in four years?

    The good news about Orange Man Bad syndrome, is that it inadvertently covered up what I thought was going to be the major problem: Nationalism getting the black eye because of him. But no, the hatred of Trump and Trump specifically covered that. I couldn't have imagined it four years ago.


    Meaning that Nationalists can recover and come to power again, especially once everyone gets acquainted with the Plutocrats who they think will serve them better(lol). We've had 60+ years of this establishment, we know what to expect and the last thing we're going to get is a representative government.

    As a Nationalist, Orange Man Bad as absolutely ridiculous as it is, I am thankful it has overtaken the citizenry and that Nationalists themselves are not scarred.

    This forum is littered with people who think he can do no wrong. Any time he appears to be wrong, it's intentional/he's just trolling. His meanness is only directed at people who deserve it. On and on they go excusing every bit of his chaotic lack of ability to lead effectively. Every day, he sounds more and more foolish and looks more and more cartoonish, and his worshipers lap it up as if it's proof that he's a stable genius.

    Nope. Most of us in the west had to have cable or satellite to watch the Trump town hall. I turned on NBC and got the local news. My first thought was NBC succumbed to pressure and cancelled it so I went online to find out. I stumbled onto live coverage online and watched it there for a bit until I realized it wasn't a town hall it was a debate with an NBC reporter so I turned it off.

    The establishment has always been anti Trump and that includes many Republicans.

    Where can you watch ABC but not NBC? Both are available free OTA.
