The purpose of debate is to illuminate issues and change minds. This "debate" did neither. Trump spoke to his base in a last-ditch effort to cement their support. His ranting certainly did not gain him support from undecided voters. Biden may have picked up a few votes from those who were turned off by Trump's antics. For Trump it was a loss--his base was with him before and after what CNN's Dana Bash accurately called a s**tshow. All his screaming accomplished was to drive undecided voters away from him.
