If Trump had been even civil.  Even if he didn't answer a question or name a policy going forward.  Had he been civil without the shouting and interrupting he would have looked better and Biden would have looked the same.

That is how you know Biden won.  

This. For the soft Biden voters who just can't take voting for "last nights" Trump. All Trump had to do is give them a reason to vote for him without feeling embarrassed. Or as I've said put their character values in question. He wasn't able to do that.

His 2016 debate performances, while still a little aggressive, was at least respectful to the process. 

Last night he trashed the remaining norms we had as a country as it related to our politics. 

If the goal was to let Biden talk himself into trouble or a gaffe, I'm just not sure why Trumps handlers didn't prepare him to just let Biden speak? I think they wanted to fluster Biden and get him to lose his train of thought so they can claim dementia, but Trump didn't even give him a chance to most of the time. The overwhelm Biden non stop to fluster him approach didn't work if that was their goal. Biden barely got the chance to have a gaffe, misspeak, etc.
