At this juncture of the campaign, it's all about mass audiences and winning hearts and minds. Unlike his opponent, Trump is not afraid of walking into the lion's den. He's very good at handling hostile media and he'll shine on Thursday night for he's in rare form lately.
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.
