Biden has always been good at the town hall question/answer forum. First, like Bill Clinton, he likes people and he feels that people like him. He’s comfortable. Second, he cares about the issues and third, he has knowledge of the issues.

...and, besides, teleprompters are for speeches, not Q&A sessions like tonight.

I wouldn’t be surprised, though, to see Trumpers claim he had a “hidden earpiece” and someone feeding him answers. Because it’s “inconceivable!!!” that a candidate would have such a grasp of facts, and clear answers ready at hand, don’cha know?
