Ironically enough it was then VP Joe Biden who advised him how to handle it...just laugh it off and point out the ridiculousness of specific points (like Russia being a huge threat to us and NATO, which has proven to be quite true as Russia can't defeat Ukraine, a country it invaded and is a fifth of it's size).

Since then debate rules have tightened and participant's time to speak is controlled by the moderators and they can't directly converse back and forth with each other.
