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....
Great closing by Ryan. Really great.
All in all I score it as a draw. Biden came off as obnoxious with his interruptions, but was more on top of the issues than Obama was in the first debate. I was maddened though by Ryan letting Biden get off with the “the Iranians don’t have a weapon to put the uranium in, and we’d know before they did” rubbish.
Quoting the wikipedia article about Little Boy: “No full test of a gun-type nuclear weapon had occurred before the “Little Boy” device was dropped over Hiroshima.”
Biden’s brilliant intelligence analyses could end with a “test” of an Iranian gun-type bomb over Tel Aviv or in a container ship in the Port of Los Angeles or the East River.
Chris Wallace just said he’s never seen a more condescending performance by a debate participant in all his years in the business.
