Biden’s town hall last night was very good for him. He continues to benefit from the Trump campaign setting the bar low with their claims Biden has physical and mental impairments. I’ve always said Biden’s weakness is his age but it didn’t show last night. He definitely looked stronger than Trump both mentally and physically.
Biden was on his feet without a podium the whole time. Compared to Trump sitting through his entire ABC town hall. Biden answered questions with ease and displayed policy depth Trump will never be capable of.
He got a tough question on water table regulations and knocked it out of the park. His story at the end that led to a lesson on how to work with people you disagree showed wisdom.
So how many people watched Biden's "town hall" last night? It came in a very distant third place among the cable news networks (FOX, MSNBC, CNN). Most Americans did not even know it was on. The majority of the U.S. TV audience were watching things like "Big Brother" and "Love Island".
