mike rogers came out on top.014, not a single democrat featured in the top ten. 2015, mike rogers retired. replacing him at the top of the sunday show rankings was donald trump. but the pattern of republican dominance continued. 2015, out of the top 20 guests on the sunday shows, 4 of the 20 were democrats. four. an that brings us to 2016. steve has again gone through the process of crunching the numbers so the rest of us can just relax and yell at the tv. again, turns out republicans were overrepresented on the shows, took up 12 of the top 16 spots in 2016. this time we got a new leader and it was not a republican. first time it's happened. except, of course, it went a democrat, either. number one spot, first time ever, bernie sanders. independent senator from vermont. 2016, bernie sanders blew the competition out of the water, appeared on the sunday shows 70 times almost doubling the president-elect who came in second place. senator sanders was supposed to be here with us live on this show tonight. due to weath
