1. Laughing at Trump
Donald Trump is a malignant narcissist. Being laughed at is one of his triggers. He's telegraphed this weakness constantly by trying to evoke this fear in others (they're laughing at us).

It also served to side with the audience of the debate, in a 'The Emperor has no Clothes' sort of way. He was the normal guy in the room at times chuckling in a 'You believe this asshole' way.
It was highly effective. Well done.

2. He called Trump a puppy.
This is another Trump weakness. He constantly uses 'dog' as an insult. We could delve into the pathology of that? But it'd be 18 tweets with an ultimate 'but who knows'.
It's another of his tells where he uses things that bother HIM as insults.

Biden called him a puppy, because that's not as direct or dire an insult in most cultures as calling someone 'dog'
and puppies are cute and small and baby...
Baby. Another Trumpian fear tell. An insult he uses frequently.
Trump rose to the bait IMMEDIATELY.

3. He called Trump a liar, and that he lies so much...it wasn't worth using his time to address/debunk every lie. They're ALL lies. He'd rather use that time telling you what HE's going to do.
Again, it's like a sane parent has returned and this demented thing is going away.

While still directly hitting the issue that Trump is a consumate liar. Which Biden brought up repeatedly.
Again, very good. Especially since the media and many politicians have flinched away from saying directly he's a liar.

4. Joe has empathy. And by showing his empathy, he showed Trump has none.
This happened more than once. Trump's malignant narcissism means he's incapable of anything resembling real empathy. We all know this. But when next to Joe's humanity?
All he had to do was be himself.

I'm not blowing Joe here.
You could've been on that stage and just being a decent human being would show starkly against the black hole that is Trump.

5. He pointed out Trump has no plan. All of Trump's shit is empty word bullshit. Flash and mirrors. Reality show reality.
He hammered this a bunch, and it resulted in Trump whining about himself and spinning that circle.
His base HATES when he does that, btw.

It looks weak and whiny. Now ...his base does believe his lies and fake news and blah blah blah. They believe Trump's lies there.
But...when he whines about it? They're intensely uncomfortable. It's unmanly to them. Unseemly.
Embarrassing.

6. He told him to shut up.
The reason the Biden campaign is going to meme this?
It is driving Trump around the goddamned bend. This is a man who cannot be told a goddamned thing. Being told dismissively to shut up, when everyone today ....even his allies ...are begging him to

shut up?
Mm. That's one of the few things I think wasn't prepped. I think that was pure Joe.
But either way, well done.

7. He only addressed Trump ...generally...as one does a child throwing a tantrum, after Trump started having mantrums...
and after that mostly addressed the people. Or at least until I flipped it off because pizza came. That was smart. You can't talk to Trump, he's batshit.

And it was a case of show not tell. By just shaking his head at Trump, laughing at him, calling him a liar, telling him to shut up! and then just talking to us?
Said everything. That was ...a huge thing.

8. Was willing to define positions enough for Trump to scream 'YOU JUST LOST THE LEFT'
Trump is a clumsy fool.
He's cunning, don't get me wrong. He's a con man. He runs a good con then bails leaving others broke. Allegedly, or whatever. Per his bankrupcies.

ell oh ell.
Anyway he's a clumsy fuckwit. I promise you in Trump's prep they were like 'try to corner him with this, he can't say that or he'd lose the left'
because Trump acted like he thought that stupid shit was a K.O.
Showing how fucking dumb he is, AND...

tipping his desperate small little hands towards the hope and prayer of a 'Bernie Bros will Helperz Me' ratfuckery.
He is really that dumb.
I don't like all of Biden's positions (duh) but at least he's clear on what he's about. And right now? That's important.
