The first measure of the Republican Party's connection with voters was an emphatic, upbeat affirmation that America wanted to hear what the GOP had to say as the Republican National Convention kicked off Monday.
C-SPAN's livestream of the first night of the convention drew 440,000 views, according to The Hill.
That amounted to more than five times the 76,000 views racked up by the Democratic National Convention last week during its opening night.
