Will a debate break out at the debate tonight?

We didn't get anything resembling a debate during the Presidential "debate". Biden tried to politely (for the most part) articulate his actual positions. Trump disrupted that messaging by creating chaos and noise. Among his interruptions were assertions that the various demagogic straw man positions from his commercials were Biden's real positions. What is the point of giving candidates an opportunity to clarify their positions when you are allowed to muddy them right up again in an unfair way? Is Trump against the idea of the voters having an alternative choice of platform clearly laid out for this election?

I also suffered through the Harrison/Graham debate. Lindsey apparently borrowed Kayleigh's binder because he was simply rambling off right-wing talking points. Making matters worse, he apparently wasn't familiar with the binder layout as he was reading answers to the wrong questions. CliffsNotes version: Graham is associating the Democrats with unmasked hordes of violent, amoral, anarchistic protesters.

So zero for three tonight?
