Town Halls while Biden's speeches get covered, I'm okay. Trump Town Halls stack his appearances in specific places...... easy to miss.

No an 8PM Town Hall is not the same to press coverage of Biden during the day. I'm sure Biden will soon get a Town hall too.

I hate Trump and will not be watching. I'm sure I'm not alone.
