so getting back to ratings, that's you and me who don't watch him, yet, if you are not a democrat you get accused of watching him and eating up blindly anything he serves.
And like silver in 1980, the "unwinding" was swift and devastating. $138 bbl to $38 bbl in 6 months back in 2008 and your telling me that it wasn't a speculative bubble?
I'd argue that his popularity is due to a lack of competition. When you consider that there is literally one network that isn't in the bag for this administration, you can guarantee some pretty good ratings.
I am surprised that anybody watches TV anymore. The only thing I watch is football. Any TV series (Game of Thrones, House of Cards, The Wire, etc.) I either buy straight out or DL. Same with movies. Frankly, I can't believe we have so many libtard news networks still in operation. Shouldn't be long before most of `em fade away.
