These faux impeachment hearings have been a major disaster for the Democrats, at least as far as the TV ratings go. Nobody is watching. Nobody cares.

As House Democrats hit their second week of fake impeachment hearings, the Democrats have not warmed America up to the fever pitch that Democrats need for impeachment.

The breathless media and the Democrats have jumped onto rooftops to scream that the fake “witnesses” the Democrats have pushed before a House committee have each left “bombshell” testimony that damns the president for quid pro quo… or bribery… or something.

These “bombshells” prove the evils of orange man, the Democrats insist.

Yet… America simply does not care. Ratings for the TV extravaganza have been horrible.

According to a report by The Hill, viewership tumbled by more than one million for last Friday’s proceedings.

“Nielsen Media Research data showed 12.7 million people tuning in to the second day of the impeachment hearings across ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox News, CNN and MSNBC,” The Hill reported.

Fox had the biggest audience (like always) with 2.8 million viewers and the others went down exponentially from there. But Friday’s ratings collapsed 35 percent over the first day on Wednesday.

The ratings are a huge disappointment for Democrats, especially compared to other recent Washington testimony events. In February, former Trump personal attorney and fixer Michael Cohen’s testimony realized 15.8 million viewers. And in July 13 million tuned in to watch the senile Robert Mueller testify about his empty Russia investigation.

Meanwhile, more than 20 million Americans tuned in to watch the confirmation hearings for Brett Kavanaugh and the lies spewed by whackjob Christine Blasey Ford.

In the universe of Washington events, this impeachment imbroglio is a huge failure for the Democrat Party.
