Biden may have showed some age but that old guy is tough. He was bombarded for over two hours from people who had oppositional research and worked to develop their snarky sound bites against him that they figured would get news coverage. That was trial by fire and much worse than any one on one debate against trump could be.
But Trump seems to be deteriorating quickly himself. Increasingly he can't say common words. I wonder if he has a hidden medical problem. Trump would not have been able to handle what Biden handled.
Trump does just fine with attacks, because his responses are literally that of a teenager, or younger. Remember last election when he talked about his penis size via a hand-size metaphor? Amazingly, this childish showmanship works with a large segment of the population. You call an old man "sleepy" and it sticks. National politics has devolved into using simple insults to portray your opponent as weak, stupid, corrupt, etc. Policies don't matter. Image does.
