Normally I would say not a chance, but with all of the Hunter Biden revelations coming to light, and the fact that Trump is also doing his town hall at the same time, Biden may try and use this as an excuse to cancel his. If he were to cancel it they would blame NBC for airing Trump's simultaneously, but the real reason would be Hunter shenanigans he can't talk about.

I was reading Democratic Underground yesterday and many of the dem zombies are openly advocating for Biden to cancel his town hall is what brought this to mind.

Anyone else think Biden may cancel? It would be absolutely glorious if he did.

It’s not like he’s gonna be challenged on anything related to Hunter

I dunno. I think this Hunter Biden thing has legs. I don't know if they're gonna be able to just ignore this stuff.

No way. He would look terrible if he did, like he has something to hide. They’ll just simply ignore it and not press him on anything about it.

The Dem's only hope for Joe to get more viewers for his Town Hall than Trump is that the NY Post story regarding the e-mails will have more attention focused on the former VP. Of course, that's probably not the attention they're gonna want.

Too bad there's no debate between Biden and Trump tonight. I'd love to have seen how the moderator would try to lob softballs to Uncle Joe with this little dumpster fire glowing in the background.

He has to take into account the 18 people that were planning on going will be disappointed. That's probably like 5 babysitters also who are depending on that babysitter money. Not sure he can risk cancelling.

He will say it's fake news and the moderators will make sure no other questions are about it.

Do you laugh or weep and shake your head when reading threads over there? I'll be honest that I do both, sometimes in the same posting.

TRUMP needs to redirect every question in his town hall to Hunter Biden.

Then this will be great tv when it devolves into a push-up contest.

Honestly I can't read it very long. The only reason I checked yesterday was because of all the Hunter Biden chaos. I read it for five or ten minutes and come away disgusted. Those people are full-on delusional.

They were talking about wanting to fight it out in the streets yesterday.

No, he doesn't cancel. His town hall will be scripted, he already knows the questions, etc.

He’ll get one token question. Maybe a follow up when he doesn’t answer the question. Just to say they asked.

He won’t answer the question.

This is unquestionably true, so far as the questions go. I just wonder about how big of a political misstep it would be to ignore the Hunter Biden stuff during the town hall.

I mean, his campaign had to crawfish over this stuff just yesterday. They actually admitted Biden was lying. I think it would be a very, very bad look for him not to address this stuff and I'm not sure he has had time to formulate a proper defense of it all.

Time will tell. I think he might cancel it.

Trump should cancel his and goto Biden’s town hall.
