The Latest: Trump to face voters’ questions in NBC town hall
The Associated Press ^ | October 14, 2020

Posted on 10/14/2020 5:18:00 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

In lieu of a formal debate, President Donald Trump has agreed to answer voters’ questions during a town hall program sponsored by NBC News on Thursday night.

The event will be held outdoors at the Perez Art Museum in Miami.

A formal matchup between the Republican president and Democrat Joe Biden that was scheduled for Thursday in Miami by the nonpartisan Commission on Presidential Debate was canceled. The commission shifted the format from a town hall to a virtual meeting, and Trump declined to participate.

Biden is participating in an ABC News town hall Thursday in Philadelphia.

Then why did you ignore Covid for months allowing hundreds of thousands of Americans to die?

Yeah, a town hall on OANN would be rather pointless. Makes sense. I just expect the MSM to sidetrack this town hall into something really brutal. If Trump is allowed to talk and get his points across, it might work to his advantage. I can’t imagine they can let that happen.

So the Liberal anti-Trump debate commission demanded a virtual event to save Biden. Yet both candidates are doing live events. How does this make any sense?

You reminded me. I wondered “How is that Steve ‘I’ve been hacked’ Scully FBI investigation going. I checked the news feeds. Not one peep as of 3 days ago. Must be really difficult to find a hacker when there isn’t one.

Maybe it's the same guy who set up the garage door ropes in Bubba's (and all other) garage.

Guarantee someone 'asks': "Mr. President, will you here and now disavow white supremacy?"

Question's I'd ask Joe:
"Mr. Biden, are you running for President or the US Senate?"
"Mr. Biden, can you name the Senators from Utah?"
"Mr. Biden, where's Hunter"

For a presidential candidate in the home stretch, anything on national television in prime time is good. The more viewers, the better.

Now I think minds are pretty much made up already but even if Trump can win over a small percentage of NBC viewers (who will skew liberal), could be the difference in a state or two.

Good. I’m glad Biden is having one on the same night. The contrast of how both men are treated will be striking.

The treatment of each man will be just as different as the questions each was asked by Wallace. Trump supporters see the unfairness of how the questions are framed. Biden supporters just like it.

Bret Baier and Martha McCallum held a Town Hall with PDJT at the Lincoln Memorial. They used video questions selected from over 1000 submissions. The FoxNews never-Trumpers chose one pro Trump question, 3 neutral questions and filled the rest of the 2 hours with hostile anti-Trump questions. Trump did well but may have been shocked at the hostility. It was very similar to the hostility of the White House press room.

Courageous Trump is unafraid to go anywhere!

Why is he so fearless? Because he is armed with TRUTH and is on the Side of the Angels (and the converse).
