Trump and Biden to take part in separate town hall events instead of a presidential debate

NBC News confirmed on Wednesday that it will host a town hall with President Trump on Thursday evening in Miami, moderated by Today host Savannah Guthrie. It will air at 8 pm ET â€“ the same time as former VP Joe Bidenâ€™s town hall event on ABC. The two events will be held on Thursday in place of the previously scheduled second presidential debate.

Their whole strategy at this point is to try to convince people that Biden is so popular it's not necessary for him to debate Trump.

They are sooo screwed!

Don't the Dems trust NBC's ability to stack the townhall with Biden operatives, and not get caught doing it?

Are the Dems afraid to see Trump's and Biden's TV ratings?

This is not MSNBC, it's the broadcast network. It will be watched, primarily outside of the urban cable TV crowd. It will get more eyes than the cables.

I am curious. What is the preferred news source of the liberal left today? I don't have a dog in that hunt.

@Cyber Liberty

From what little I watched of it (forgot it was on and tuned in late),Trump did a good job under pressure of defending his positions,and Samantha Guthrie was one evil,nasty bitch. I honestly didn't know she had it in her. Every other time I have seen her on NBC she has been pleasant and smiling. I guess having to interview someone pro-American was more than she could deal with.

Yeah,I DO understand these people have a responsibility to both the public and the network to be through and ask tough questions people want to hear the answers to,but she took it WAAAAY over line to the point it seemed personal.
