That debate was an absolute mess. I'd say there was no point in watching it, but the utterly uninformed voter has walked away knowing one thing beyond any doubt. Yes, Biden is just a typical politician, but Trump is an amoral bully. The polls seem to back that interpretation. Its not that Biden did particularly well (though I MUCH appreciated when he flat out told Trump to shut up), but that Trump is such an absolute failure in every direction that all one needed to do was show basic competence to win. Biden won.
(Oh and as for the argument that Biden only looked bad in the primary because he was up against an army of candidates, SO WERE ALL THE OTHER CANDIDATES. That excuse doesn't fly.)

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
