Tell us how you are planning to prepare for the townhall. Guest it was good training for me to serve as a backup moderator. I went to all four debate prepared as if they were going to call on me at the last minute to moderate the debates. The townhall meeting is unique because it is more of a to listenr role carefully, to follow up, to make sure that the president , joe biden, and if there is a third participant follow the rules and dont filibuster.
