Carter should have said, "No Governor, there YOU go again, off base and far from the American people's issues."

...a political quip from forty years ago.

And those that do remember would likely have a meltdown on how “ZOMG Biden is just like Reagan!!!”

"Don't get upset." or "Don't raise your voice." And then ask the moderator to admonish him not to raise his voice. EVEN IF HE ISN'T RAISING IT.

That's because there is NOTHING more irritating than to have someone claim you are shouting at them, when you are not. It would interrupt any train of thought he had, any momentum he had, and he would be highly, visibly irritated. Maybe turn red.

Biden has this chiclet grin that goes with his hair. So, I'd like to hear him say, "Don't raise your voice," while grinning at tRump. tRump wouldn't be able to figure that out.
