I cannot believe he had the gall to say “he gets 40 seconds, and I get 15!!!!”

[Right Wing Assault]

The moderator has been sitting on Biden’s lap during the entire debate, that is why there is a smile on his face.

Geez! How many times are you going to post that??

[silentknight]

Biden is a prick

[ClearCase_guy]

I’m trying to figure out where the heck the moderator has been sitting. I haven’t a clue! Can you help me out?

[Mygirlsmom]

smile on Joe's face

Perhaps there was an intern under Joe's desk

[TigerClaws]

Biden got in a lot of bs.

Biden overplayed the laughing and dismissive attitude.

Moderator helped Biden.

Ryan did okay but was mostly a tie.

Ryan did well enough wonder how the indies saw it....

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

NEVER A SPLIT SCREEN WHEN BIDEN TALKED, ONLY WHEN RYAN TALKED TO MINIMIZE HIS MESSAGE

[samtheman]

Great closing by Ryan. Really great.

[NormsRevenge]

Joe’s meds kicked in a little late .. as in comedy, so it goes in debates.. timing.. lol

[mylife]

Good Closer by Paul.

Patton Oswalt ‏@pattonoswalt Ryan is a nervous Walmart manager. Biden is an irate customer with the receipt, the warranty & he's friends w/ the store owner.

[freepertoo]

That’s good news.

[Forgiven_Sinner]

Tammy Bruce ‏@HeyTammyBruce Ryan's has been steady and clear, all while facing a laughing clown riding a drunk elephant.

I think Biden will be credited by the press and by liberal commentators in that he did better than most expected. However, my son called the first debate right and he is calling this one for Ryan. He said that Ryan was presenting a positive image for Americas and seemed the better informed of the two. He also said that Biden seemed like a real jerk.

I don’t think Biden’s performance tonight is going to help team Obama.

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

I actually turned the TV off because Biden was so obnoxious and interrupting that i realized I was not going to get to hear Ryan.

Biden was a complete A##hole.

[txmissy]

At least they gave Ryan a full screen for his closing statement. Sheesh. *rollingeyes*

[RedMDer]

Great closing argument by Ryan.

[goron]

"I don’t blame the moderator for the lackluster performance by Ryan."


So Ryan should interrupt, mock, repeat, laugh condescendingly and speak louder, like crazy Joe is doing? Biden is showing the nation that he's a dry drunk, with his brain in a vegetative hysterical state of confusion. Biden is repeating the voices in his ear piece, and no one can convince me otherwise.

Biden is the weirdest politician I have ever seen in my life time. I have followed him since the 70s. He is an alcoholic and lifelong henchman for the dem party.

Biden is truly why term limits should be in place. I don’t think our Founders ever envisioned the Bidens of the political world. Too many of these politicians control too much of our lives for too long.

On the abortion issue, wish Ryan would of talked about late term abortions and born alive killing of a baby.....and described the horrific procedure. About the abortion survivors...
