Keeping it simple, the dems were behind in the polls and thought Biden was going to put forth a solid performance while Trump repeatedly did what he did in the 2020 debates. Obviously that blew up on the Biden campaign. Why did the trump campaign agree to it? That’s tougher to know. Perhaps they wanted an early knock out and never thought that Biden would ever pull out as Biden is known for being stubborn.

My belief is quite the opposite. No one, I mean no one, who encountered Biden on a frequent basis believed he was capable of a debate. This was an effort of pure, unadulterated sabotage. They wanted him out of the way and the only avenue was to expose him to the world, out of protection of his handlers and the MSM. 

Mission accomplished.

Not true. The argument wasn't about his age, it was about his acuity. Trump is old but he still retains his faculties. Biden is slipping and gaining speed.
