That was along the lines of an entertainment show with political speeches, singers, dancers, a remote cast from some high school or college bands, throw in some political commercials, a short documentary, you know, like a Fourth of July type of feel with fireworks at the end.
They can make it payperview to raise money for the campaign.
Okay, I know, I am hokey but I think it would be cool.

Not sure how someone could pull off evoking the excitement of a rally with a webcast, but it would keep Biden in the public eye.
