As PB said, Trump could have won the debate if he had treated Biden kindly. Instead, Trump completely blew it. He blew it worse than any presidential candidate, both incumbent and challenger, has ever blown a debate. Andrew Sullivan wrote on Twitter, "Biden was ineffectual. Trump was monstrous." That sounds right to me.
Peaceful transition? Trump should concede now. That would be peaceful. I hope Biden brings experienced advisers to his administration in January.
