Ryan is kicking Biden’s a—. Period. End of story.
“Too many people equate talking over an opponent as strength”
Women usually despise it,,
That's me. Wow, I lost it at one point. Blood pressure back to normal now ...well almost.
This moderator is working WITH Biden to diminish Ryan through INTERRUPTION.
Ryan is being held hostage by predetermined kabuki theater.
Ryan speaks of his Catholic Faith. And he his is Prolife.
Biden is no Catholic. He attacks Catholics.
I’ve been mostly listening. However, I think Ryan is doing fine. He has a calm, serious voice. He is making serious arguments. And in the middle of it, I hear Biden jumping in shouting, “He’s a liar!”
That may fire up the base, but I think Biden sounds like an angry asshole. Shouts of “You’re a liar!” don’t impress me. Ryan SOUNDS like the adult in the room.
What. Do you mean by weak ?
He debating two
People here !
Biden reminds me of the high school bully who makes faces and throws spit balls when the nerd is answering a question in class.
Biden is an expert in mouthing word salad.
What, pray tell, is a “practicing Catholic”? What? Does Biden think he’s like a physician now? And if Biden is just practicing at being Catholic....when, if ever, is Biden going to get it right?
Biden is burying himself..Losing women voters in droves with his creepy old man laugh during every Ryan answer.
Ryan sucks, based on what? He’s hardly been able to finish a single (no exaggeration) sentence without either Biden, the moderator — or both!!! — interrupting him.
I suspect many interesting facts will emerge comparing this debate with other debates. The number of interruptions being first and foremost. I will be very interested in seeing how much each candidate ended up having in time. I estimate between five and eight minutes total so far where Biden was speaking *during* Ryan’s time.
I think Ryan is doing quite well. He's not as polished as Biden, but he's earnest, and comes across as earnest and knowledgeable. It may not be a knockout for our side, but it won't be one for the other, either.I hope you're right.
Unfortunately I have to agree. Would have loved to see Ryan be a bit more aggressive.
Snort! Biden was wonderful./full sarc
Ryan’s politeness translates into confidence. He’s given Biden enough rope to hang himself and looks far the better man.
IMO, Ryan has the facts but is not a debater;
Biden doesn’t have the facts but is a debater.
I don’t get it..The GOP ALWAYS lets itself get screwed. The ENTIRE future of America hinges on this election and they allow the LEFT to control all the debates. Let Rush moderate one ..The right are so friggin stupid
