I think Trump is too chicken for a Town Hall.

Sanders’ screen time on the typically Trump-friendly Fox News on Monday night was a success by most measures, drawing the highest ratings for a town hall in the 2020 election cycle and allowing Sanders the opportunity to face questioning from more skeptical voters. Bethlehem, Pa., which hosted the town hall, voted twice for former President Barack Obama before flipping to Trump in 2016.

Trump, whose ties to and affinity for Fox News are well documented, tweeted earlier Tuesday that it was “so weird” to watch Sanders on the network, complaining that Baier and the audience were “so smiley and nice.” He also questioned the network’s hiring of former Democratic National Committee interim chairwoman Donna Brazile as a commentator.


But while the president is a frequent guest on the network, he tends to stick to interviews with friendlier personalities like prime-time opinion programming hosts Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham, or the network's “Fox & Friends” morning show, where he receives almost unflinchingly positive coverage.

Baier, in a tweet, hinted at the president’s reluctance to interview with the channel’s news anchors, replying to Trump and saying, “We’d love to have you on a town hall soon — or even an interview on @SpecialReport —it’s been awhile. We cover all sides.”

1. Mayor Pete is planning one too. Should be interesting.

I hope it galls him like crazy to know his minions will see the Democrats speak for themselves.

That said I saw about two minutes of Hannity after BS did his, and the spin that it was bizarre and crazy talk was already in full cry.
