See a comment above. The firehouse of lies and nonsequitors Trump spewed is a deliberate tactic meant to keep your opponent from answering/challenging. Sure Biden could have gotten a few more punches in, but that was the point of Trump’s barrage.
First, you point out that is the technique being used and why Trump is using it.
Second, you don't refute all lies, but you thoroughly refute a couple of the big ones.
I was fairly horrified when Biden started talking about his own golf handicap. The obvious response is that it wasn't a president's job to golf. The biggest frustration of that night is that Trump was completely unhinged and easily refuted, but Biden just couldn't do it.
Right! Where was this line? “I’m running for President because I want to make life better for the American people, to support Democracy around the world and defend our allied against aggression from foreign actors. My opponent is running for President to stay out of jail.”

Instead, we got mumbling about golf handicaps.
