You're probably right. It's frustrating to have someone who won't play by the rules, even when we know that going in. But I think he gets flustered around women, which was why I was a big Warren guy, and I also think Bernie would have no patience for being interrupted. You can't defer to a bully. Sometimes you've got to hit them in the mouth instead of waiting for them to stop. That's not who Biden is and it's ridiculous to expect that performance from him I guess.

More than anything, I want to see the current POTUS get punched square in the mouth. Repeatedly. Forever.

I agree. But remember what a creepy fuck he was with Hilary during the debates. I love Warren & greatly wish that she was up there last night instead of Biden. And I know she's actually talk policy. But would she had "gotten" Trump? Unfortunately, I don't think so. He'd just respond to any question he didn't like by calling her names and using ethnic slurs.

And Biden didn't have patience with being interrupted either, provoked into that "Will you just shut up, man" response, which people loved.

If Bernie had been there, Trump would have acted no differently. No matter how loudly or persistently Bernie had tried to speak, Trump would still have interrupted him and spoke over him. Maybe Bernie would have gotten his message out regardless. Maybe more of the audience would have had a "they're both shout-y old men" reaction. Hard to say.
