If I was debating someone who I claimed had dementia I would allow them to speak as much as possible

Tonight it was very obvious that Trump was terrified of allowing Joe Biden to speak freely.

The dementia shtick Trump is peddling is just another facet of his self-projection, as are the drugs.

Not give him time or silence to collect any of his thoughts and force him to make gaffs.

I think Joe did great considering he couldn't get a thought out before he was cut off.

I bet when he said shut up most of America said about time!

It was never going to work but if Trump had any belief that Biden would wobble mentality he would have shut up and allowed Biden to speak as long as possible.

But it's a case of Trump knowing damn well it's all bullshit, even if his supporters fell for it
