DNC viewership is down 22% over 2016. The RNC's July ratings were down 21%. Not only does that give Republicans an obvious advantage, but it also suggests a drop in interest in the coming election. That presents a big problem for Democrats. A low voter turnout favors Trump since his supporters have the enthusiasm edge and are more likely to vote.

CNN’s Dana Bash: DNC Appeals to Men Who Are Not ‘Testosterone-Laden’

CNN anchor Dana Bash has argued that Democrats and the Democratic National Convention (DNC) appeal to men who are not so “testosterone-laden.”

On Wednesday, CNN hosts discussed how the DNC is trying to reach men who are less masculine with radical Gov. Tim Walz and “second gentleman” Doug Emhoff.

CNN’s Jake Tapper said:

“The gender gap in American politics has been trending very strongly for years.

“But this year, at least according to polls, it is so strong.

“The women vote is overwhelmingly for Harris.

“The male vote, overwhelmingly for Trump, though not as much.”

Co-host Dana Bash agreed with Tapper’s comments.

Bash noted how the Democrats are trying a different tactic than the last time a woman was at the top of their ticket.

“Yes and there’s the gender gap, then there’s the idea that for the last month the Democratic Party has been rallying around a woman at the top of the ticket,” Bash said.

“Which is- the only other time they did it, which is in 2016.

“And it has been noteworthy to see how they are learning about what to do and how to confront Donald Trump as the opponent to a woman.

“2016 and now, very different campaigns, very different female candidates.”

This time, Bash said, Democrats are trying to appeal to men who might be more feminine than their Republican counterparts.

“But they are doing so in trying to put forward male figures, Tim Walz being one of them, Doug Emhoff last night, who can speak to men out there who might not be the sort of testosterone-laden, y’know, gun-toting kind of guy who wants to listen to Hulk Hogan and the kind of players that came out at the RNC or might want to listen to that,” she said.

“But also, in addition, understand that it’s okay in 2024 to be a man comfortable in his own skin who supports a woman, and that is something they are really trying to work on with male voters beyond the base.”

Tapper agreed with Bash’s statement.

He noted they had been speaking earlier about “different definitions of masculinity in 2024 and what we saw at the Trump convention.”

He continued by recalling someone describing the RNC as “‘testosterone-y’ with Kid Rock and the Ultimate Fighting Champion guy [Dana White] and Hulk Hogan.”

Something that may change your mind about your choice for president

...Oprah and Mayor Pete are supporting Kamala. I can see all your minds changing even as I type this.
