In reply to the discussion: Trump to take questions from uncommitted voters in ABC News town hall from Philadelphia [View all]BumRushDaShow

Had been hearing on the radio this morning about all the street closures and detours and whatnot around the facility, which is a couple blocks north of Independence Hall. I am sure Philly's finest (i.e., protestors - including those from the 'burbs and Jersey) will be out there to "greet" him.
And in response to this -
I feel that it was a mistake on the part of the Biden campaign not to make time to do this town hall.
Biden has almost made Philly his "2nd" home, being that it is about 40 miles north of Wilmington, DE. His "official" campaign HQ is actually listed as right here in Philadelphia, so there was really no need. We got his back and this is his base here.
This city is 8-1 Democratic registration. By the last state count from 9/7/20 (Excel file), the registrations were 834,703 (D) and 123,765 (R), 97,455 (No affiliation), 36,092 (Other), where I'm guessing "Other" is probably covering Libertarian, Green, Constitution, and Working Family.
Unless you have young people who are just getting to vote for the first time, I can't see how anyone could be "undecided" at this point. Biden is not "new". He was a very public VP for 8 years and just as public when a Senator for some 35 years before that, with this being his 3rd attempt at running for President (and first time making it this far in the process).
I'd personally like to see him go to Erie and get that county flipped back to blue, There seems to be a narrative out there that Hillary "lost Scranton". That was false. Lackawana County (that includes Biden's hometown of Scranton) voted for Hillary (although the results were closer than expected).

OP
So you're saying that a national network is engaged in fraud with the Trump campaign?

If it goes long at all without Trump scolding a questioner for a "nasty question" we'll know the

If anybody is "undecided" at this point, they're either lying or too stupid to vote.

Exactly. If they say they are "undecided" at this point, they are stealth turd humpers.

Any voter that is still "uncommitted" is either an idiot or being deceitful

If you are still calling yourself an uncommitted voter then you are a Trump supporter

It's a mistake by ABC to use our national heritage sites in a manner to elevate this fascist wannabe

I wonder if anyone will have the guts to ask Drumpf about his 'So easily transmissible'
