ABC should cancel Biden's Town Hall at the very last minute then re-schedule.

Doing that would greatly benefit Biden but also benefit ABC as it would assure higher viewership as people would want to hear Biden's responses. It seems to me that would be certainly better than to have both events aired at the same time.

if he can deliver the performance of a lifetime. Everyone but his ardent supporters know what a hole he is in and will be tuning in to see if he can crawl back out/ Trump has the advantage here because he's the one who cancelled the debate and arranged this because he knows people will tune in to watch a train wreck

might watch trump just to see if he’s alive or laugh at the buffoon. But others will watch the winner, rather than loser, to hear what he’s going to do to make things better.

And maybe Michelle, and then Bruce Springsteen to play same music, and Joe could play some basketball with some BB superstar, etc. etc. Hey, we can change the format too, and be far more fun and entertaining. And of course Kamala would pop in and do some friendly patter with Joe.

10. I really don't understand why people are getting worked up about this...

Nobody's going to be conflicted about who to watch. If they're unhappy with Trump but not yet committed to Biden, they'll likely watch Biden. If they're still considering supporting Trump, they'll likely watch Trump, see him act like an idiot again and be more uncertain going forward.
