Any stats on how many non-Trump supporters watched the speech? (Original Post) LAS14 Mar 2017 OP

This sounds like an excellent way to estimate the answer. Thanks! LAS14 Mar 2017 #4

But think you're correct. I can't stomach Lord Commander Marmalade's voice for 2 minutes, let alone an hour. I still refuse to say the words "President" and "T...." (see, I can't even TYPE it together!). He'd just twist into some more BS that his little chimps will lap up with glee, as if this is all ok.
What the hell has happened to our so-called fellow countrymen? When did IQ's drop so sharply? (full disclosure, I stole that line from Sigourney Weaver, "Aliens&quot .

which is the source of the bounce the pres always gets after a speech like that.

Fact is, Trump fell far short of market share and rating than Obama got for his initial speech before Congress in 2009.

In forecasting the actual population of large cities in Asia, for example, they simply look at the amount of water used per day and they have a pretty good idea how much water an average person uses. If you estimate 20 gallons a day and you have 200 million gallons used then you would have 10 million people.

In this case it would probably take 20 gallons of beer to get through the speech if you are not a supporter so that if you can count on the additional amount of beer sold immediately prior and how much MJ was purchased you could probably make an accurate extrapolation.
