Let’s not underestimate how hard it would be to debate a fool like Biden and not end looking like one yourself. I think Ryan held serve and Jokin’ Joe just served raw meat for the hard left who were voting for them anyway. I can’t think many independents were moved to their camp with Joe laughing at things like unemployment and nuclear weapons.
He did himself and the lib-dem trash a lot of damage; they’ll find out on Nov 7th. Ryan was a class act.
