The carnival of chaos, the parody of propriety, the corruption of the Constitution that is the Trump impeachment circus, I mean trial, got a rather small audience on its first full day. The total viewership during the day was 11 million people according to the ratings. That's 11 million people when Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS and NBC covered the proceedings all day. Indeed, what these ratings mean is that fewer people were watching TV than on an average weekday. The ratings also mean that just about 1 person in 30 tuned in to see any part of this charade. And remember, for this type of event, ratings normally fall off by at least 50% as the days goes by.
The Democrats have been hoping that they would be able to convince a TV audience to suddenly support impeachment and to pressure senators to voting to remove Trump. That surely won't happen since the Democrats couldn't even make the whole thing interesting enough to keep an audience for very long.
It wouldn't surprise me if the Dems decide to skip tomorrow's session and just put on a rerun on TV. No one could tell the difference since no one will be watching.
