Biden won on content. Trump is the net winner, though.
Fata.

Upon further reflection, I really think I nailed it last night with my review, but I see it was misunderstood.
I laughed out loud when I was accused of being a closet Trump supporter after this post. I haven't had a good night's sleep in four years because of this prick. I'm aghast and horrified at everything he ####s out of that anus mouth of his.
My review was based on what I perceive to be what makes Trump attractive to the deplorables/undecideds. The content of what Biden had to say was obviously way more substantive and appealing than anything Trump barfed out. Unfortunately, I find Biden's delivery to be unpersuasive. Like I agree with what he says, but it doesn't get me fired up like if Obama were to make the same points with better delivery. Biden says stuff and the most he can get out of me is mmhmmm.
I like when Trump seems unhinged, frothing at the mouth, sweating and getting angry. I like that because it puts a spotlight on the absurdity of a lunatic being the president. You can point at him and think,
this! this is your fataing hero!
Last night he just said his usual pile of crap relatively calmly (for him). I didn't like that because the Trump supporters I know don't care about truth. They're not going to fact check his claims like Biden took $3.5 million from China. They'll just believe it even though rational people are thinking,
wtf, who believes this BS? If he was flapping around interrupting Biden and being his usual tit self, it doesn't play well with the "nice" people in the red states that vote R basically no matter what, but could be persuaded either to vote D or just not vote at all based on how unhinged Trump had the potential to become. The content of what he says clearly doesn't matter to them since non-deplorables have seen through the lies since 2015.
I think to the types that could be attracted to Trump's demeanor, he showed well last night
to them (not me).
Biden seemed a lot older than Trump last night, too. He is an old man. Obviously we all had that concern in the primaries and he has done a good job throughout, but I'd be so much more comfortable with his polling lead if he had more charisma.
I still have my money on Biden, but last night made me a tad nervous. The fact that you guys think Biden killed it is encouraging, but it's not how I saw it.
