Ryan looked great and very professional. VP Biden played the role he needed to play. Raddatz actually hurt Biden by letting him talk.
Ryan came across as thoughtful. It was a good performance.
I’ve never seen a debate participant behave in a more obnoxious and rude manner in my life. I wonder how it will play out with the public. Ryan performed up to his experience level unfortunately. Not aggressive enough in talking over the interruptions and not aggressive enough in demanding equal treatment from Martha. He held his own on substance but missed several opportunities to call out Biden on outright lies (Libya is an example). Ryan finished strong though.
Biden has gotten more than equal time and then some.
It is as you say, like a drunk at the bar. A blowhard, loudmouth, know-it-all who does not listen to anyone but himself and only part time at that.
Ryan will not lose this debate. Biden and Raditz will win it. She needs equal billing on the ticket.
I’d have bitch slapped Biden several times:
1. Never call him Joe. Always call him Mr. Biden drawing attention to his age and not necessarily superiority
2. When Biden said they would not put troops into Syria I would have said YOU ALREADY HAVE! You put chemical troops in yesterday, at least that is when you announced it, on the Syrian / Jordanian border. Who will support them when they get in trouble?
This was no debate. I suggest she go back to High School and learn what it means. This was a very smug failed loser getting time and time again to stay OFF DEBATE.
Fired from what? She's a MSM journalist, who in fact even earned a bonus tonight!
Fired should be the GOP! Dead silence on the fact that the wife of an incumbent administration official was moderating a debate? No effin' way that would fly if a Pubbie were in the WH. No. Effin'. Way.
Now I do.
Two hours ago I didn't have any use for Biden and I still don't. Won't say I hate him personally but in general I hate arrogant assholes. And I'm pretty sure most people do.
We’ll fluoridate the water. It will sap them of their precious bodily fluids.
"I always mean what I say" [Joe Biden]
Talk about the gift that keeps on giving ...
This is gonna be the next Romney commercial. Use the sound bite and then compile all of Biden gaffes of the last 4 years ...
Today that was in Ryan’s favor.
>Per FOX the unofficial time count was just under 42 minutes for the jerk vs. just over 40 minutes for Ryan <
And just how many of Ryan’s 40 minutes had Biden yelling over the Congressman?
CNN destroyed Biden- especially Gergen; said he looked childish and condescending...said it won’t go over well with the American people...
Being meek is NOT a synonym for being out of touch.
What is the status of the new servers?
Will we have them by next week’s debate?
Yes, Joe Biden was a jerk and the moderation was a hack, BUT Paul Ryan was passionLESS and passive. He didn’t even bring up the recent things Biden has said about the Obama administration’s plan to raise taxes $1 trillion or the middle class being buried for the last 4 years... I’m just sick.
This could be the Anti JFK/Nixon Moment.
The visual made Biden Smarmy.
He laughed at peoples pain.
He smirked over dead Americans
I did NOT want to have a beer with him.
Mr. Biden. I’m doing you the courtesy of letting you speak without interrupting you. Why don’t you do the same for me?
The whole mess was wrong on so many levels. Romney didn’t lose. Biden and Raditz hardly let him compete and when they did didn’t let him finish.
Like I said before, Raditz has earned equal billing position on the bo / plugs ticket.
Biden wasn't playing to make his points, he was playing to make sure Ryan didn't get a chance to make his points, by making sure no one could hear him. Standard leftist thug tactic. Annoying as hell but brutally effective.
I know for one thing. Your punctuation stinks. That's the highlight of a concern troll.
If you were a normal American, who cared about the future of this country, you wouldn't have bought into Biden's snarky non-answers.
Call it for Biden if that's your view. I certainly have a different one.
