I think Hillary remained calm and aloof which could have been perceived as weak or...I have a feeling Biden will not deal with him the same way. It must be difficult to decide how to respond.
During the Democrat debates he consistently stopped talking, even in mid-sentence, when his time was up. In my opinion, that seemed awkward and weak. He needs to project strength and that he's not going to just accept Trump's attacks, but at the same time he can't get sucked into Trump's sheer brutality. There are some common themes he needs to pound no matter what Trump is talking about - healthcare including the administration's attacks on the ACA in courts, coronovirus response, and Trump's financial issues.
