Trump is perfectly able to dial it back.
The question is, can Biden dial it up?

Well that proves Trump WON! Libs want the rest canceled! Winners don’t quit! Trump must of left a massive hole in Biden’s support or they cannot give the same drugs again for some medical reason.....
I have a Trump/Pence sign in my front yard so I’m no Biden supporter and I agree with you. Instead of letting Biden fumble and stumble his way through his answers so voters could see how brain dead he is, Trump constantly interrupted him. Fence sitters and suburban types will say, “look, Biden couldn’t finish his thought not because he’s senile, but because Trump constantly interrupted him.”
I found Trump’s performance a disaster. Does he have no gear but rage? Who prepped him for this thing? How about once in awhile he try a calm, well-reasoned, cogent answer to a question? He has many accomplishments but I didn’t hear him list any last night except that he made the greatest economy in the history of the world and he’s appointed 300 judges.
When Biden made his idiot remarks about the Obama/Biden booming economy, why didn’t Trump come back with the litany of horrors of Obama’s economy? Ask Sean Hannity for the list. When Biden laid out his green energy plans, why didn’t Trump bring up the bankrupt green energy companies Obama financed with taxpayer dollars? Why didn’t he mention that Harris is an author of the Green New Deal and that we get that if Biden croaks and Harris becomes president? Mention methane and cows and no beef-eating allowed with these nuts.
Trump should stop with all these rallies. He’s speaking to the choir with these things and they’re a waste of his precious time. He should stay in the White House and prep for the next debate (if there is one.) And he needs a haircut. His hair last night was practically down to his nose. He was red-faced and sweaty-looking. He reminded me of a boxer who is losing and goes out in the final rounds flailing away at anything that moves. He didn’t look presidential or confident or in control. He looked desperate. That isn’t going to win the uncommitted or those suburban moms who supposedly find his behavior repulsive.
Biden did what he had to do, stay upright and engaged for 90 minutes, and show no obvious signs of dementia. Mission accomplished now he can go back into hiding and let the media handle his campaign. He gains nothing by taking the chance of going back on stage for two more 90 minutes stints.
I knew the debate would actually be between Bite-me and Chrissy boy. The plan was to turn it into a sh!tshow so Bite-me would have an excuse to drop out of the rest of the debates.

Chris Wallace lost the debate. He was constantly badgering, correcting and arguing with Trump and then tossing to Biden with reverence.
As far as Trump vs. Biden, given Biden’s refusal to denounce Antifa or Court packing I’d say Trump will win the economic and Law and Order vote and our senate races can be run on the pack the court issue.
Who needs performance enhancing drugs when you have a performance enhancing moderator?
Reagan had the looks and charm to effectively use a laugh, smile or quip to disarm his opponent. When Joe tries thos, it comes off as creepy, angry or mean.
People forget that Reagan’s first debate against Mondale was a disaster.
I can only imagine what Freepers would have said after that debate.
In addition to fraility and vacant expression, he displayed several instances of processing and memory issues even with the meds. He is clearly diminished mentally from the 2008 & 2012 debates.
But he survived, and that’s what he needed to do. People on our side lowered the bar so low he didn’t have to do much to succeed. And he did it.
They have a fear of to much truth getting out.
