I often argue for reading the transcripts. The visual setups often detract from an analysis of what is being said (although frankly at this point in who cares?). I certainly did read the transcripts with the Republican primaries in 2016 and Trump stood out in a way no other candidate did, in that he couldn't form a coherent argument or sentence, that's not about agreement or factuality, when I agreed with little, and even thought Carly Fiona was a far worse human being with far worse policies, it's basic logical structure, does not cohere.
But even so the visual spectacle of the Trump trainwreck last night was a sight to behold, as in dang give Trump a Tony award for portraying the power mad man-child king raging at the waning of his power.

I personally am disappointed in both and I expected better from Biden. This is not going to end well is my take. Rob
Biden was in an impossible position. Some people wanted him to be more aggressive towards trump. Some people wanted him to take a more ‘high road’ approach befitting the office he’s running for. There is no middle ground that will satisfy those two groups.
At the end of the day trump needs to win back the suburban voters that abandoned his party in 2018 if he hopes to win by some method that doesn’t include large scale cheating. This debate performance most certainly did not win back those voters. The only people impressed by trump’s debate performance were the people who were already 110% voting for trump. Everyone else saw it for the blazing dumpster fire that he is.
I think Trump's strategy of berating, name calling, and interrupting was intended to rattle Biden and make him lose his composure and train of thought. I also think his speaking style is affected by his stuttering early in life. He's not my ideal candidate but as the campaigns go on I get a better impression that he is a decent person, within the limits of politics anyway.

Biden did a good job considering the circumstances. It was a no win situation for him.
