He has the best ratings. He'll continue that routine until it plays out.

The truth is, and he might not be totally aware of it, is that most people stick around because he's had the best guests that provide detailed information about the Russia/Ukraine scam.

I'm not a commercial watcher so I just pause the shows while surfing the web. I do it a bit longer on his show skipping his opening diatribe. After about 2 minutes he has nothing that adds to the conversation. Glad they preview guests so I know if it's worth sticking around or just flipping over to a movie. (Christmas at this time of year)
