R3 and R9 I know, I know it's so hard to wake up after the drugged adventure, but Trump is over. Yes, he'll get over 40% of the votes in this election (the way are politics are baked in, OJ Simpson running as a Republican would get 40%) - but America is tired of the show.

Donald, don't you remember what happened when Regis Philbin was on Who Wants to Be a Milliionaire on ABC? Huge ratings when it was on as a special, or even once a week. But the network got greedy and put the show on multiple times a week, viewers got sick of it, and ABC wound up killing a popular show through OVEREXPOSURE.

He's not a master of anything, let alone spin.

A few years ago he could lie and spin and people would buy it -- or, like you, they'd say "well everyone believes it so it might as well be true" -- but he's lost what little used car salesman charm he once had.

The first impression everyone is getting is that he lost in the ratings, after a lackluster performance where he wasn't even entertainingly crazy, just dull and stupid. He'll scream on Twitter but the days of people buying it are over.

Here's the fun part. Those early number don't include the West Coast because ABC aired it live nationwide so it was on 5-7pm in California. NBC did the usual practice of delaying the broadcast to west coast primetime. So Biden has beaten up without even counting the west coast, which he's winning by so much than it doesn't matter. Final aggregate NBC platform numbers versus total national ABC might allow the Trumps to lie their way to victory, but deep down, Donnie knows that he's a ratings bust. Box office poison, Miss Crawford.
