Judge him for his techniques. One is going slow with a answer which is hard to do when Trump is interrupting.

(16,858 posts)3. As someone who stutters, I noticed several times last night
Where Biden caught himself and reframed answers around words he would stutter with. I was extremely proud of Joe's ability to handle that assault last night and can't imagine having the dignity and composure he did in that moment.

(11,609 posts)6. He did very well all things considered
I can't say I blamed him for the few times he did lose his cool. That was easily the worst debate I've ever seen.
