This assessment is sound. It’s not the only way he wins but may be the most straightforward. Another way would be to speak like a policy wonk. Give s lot of percentages. I.e, border crossings are up 60%, income to debt ratio is Y etc. Extreme competence.

It will be impossible for a demented Biden to speak accurately about numerical things.
A skilled politician can deal with hostile questions, and can even turn them to his advantage. Does Trump have this skill? I’m not convinced. There is also a risk that he will treat the debate as though it’s one of his campaign rallies where he is preaching to the converted. He needs to use the debate to reach out to undecided voters. Can he do it? I’m skeptical.
