I disagree with a lot of coverage. Public talking is hard and everyone has had a brainfart before.
Trump wanted everyone to know he was racist.. It was his only clear policy
If you listen to the actual words, Biden had answers. He might not have been as vocal (which could have been fixed with a mic adjustment).
But it's easy to win a debate if you constantly lie. You can't get onto the offensive, because Trump has the advantage that he can make up bullshit, and claim bullshit. He doesn't even need to think about policies.
It's like arguing on Facebook. Talking on behalf of everyone and claiming that "nobody agrees" can only be disputed with facts.
As others have said, the format was an issue that benefits Trump. CNN should have fact checked on the spot
