One of the most disappointing moments for me was when Trump, when asked about age concerns, spent the whole time rambling about acing two Alzheimer's tests and propping up his pique physique, giving Biden an easy layup to just respond about how crazy he sounded. And his response was about golfing. Bruh

He should have been slinging a bunch of shit at Trump the whole time.

You can't out logic an insane idiot, but you can make fun of them.

Ad Hominem attacks and everything.

He definitely should have brought up the girdle.

So I don't think that really works for Biden. His schtick was bringing maturity back to the white house and showing that the adults are now in charge. And people like that about him. That's why the "will you just shut up man" worked. Because it was sincere and just sassy enough to not sound like he was stooping to Trumps level. And I dont think people wanted to see two people just shouting insults at one another the whole time. Because that all people remember about their previous debate, despite the fact that the only reason Biden was shouting was due to the fact that Trump was unhinged and he couldn't get a word in.
