Strange CSPAN caller overrepresentation

CSPAN callers to the Democrat, Independent, and Republican call lines during the second day of the RNC were almost exclusively fawning over Melania and DJT. Women seemed over represented and “former democrats” seemed to be a theme.

It came off as rigged.

"I think President Trump has done such a wonderful job on the economy and this China Virus situation, I have decided to switch parties and vote for Trump and all down-ticket Republicans. Thank you for taking my totally spontaneous and heartfelt call. God bless Trump."

That for every fake democrat caller that go through to give their opinion, a real caller with a legit opinion probably got bumped.

They’re also trying desperately to convince people that switching their vote to DJT isn’t something to be ashamed of which is telling in itself.
