VP Debate

[PurplePride92]

Biden did what he needed to do, but I thought Ryan finished very strong. I certainly don't think Biden "cleaned up", but I will say this - I like Biden better than Obama.

 

Obama needs to step his game up. All eyes are on him.

The clear winner of the evening was PurplePride92 and his two for one Thirsty Thursday Guadalajara specials.

Can we please quit crying about the moderator. It's a no-win position. I only saw the last half and I thought she did fine other than that last question of "what can you as a man...." that turned into a litany of campaign soundbites.

Jim Lehrer= Judge Ito.

I think Biden at times just came off really rude with the way he acted and interrupted Ryan as he started talking points. Granted Ryan did at times too but not to the extent of Biden. Did that tactic work tonight in Biden's favor? You bet it did. Did he come off as rude at times? I think in many peoples eyes he did.

[Clyde]

Biden did exactly what his base wanted him to do. Go on the attack.

 

I thought Ryan did well in keeping it general which is the campaign M.O.

 

So both did what they needed to do.

 

However, I bet the female undecideds will side with Biden.

Beautiful.

 

We've had 12 straight years now of unadulterated rudeness to the sitting POTUS and now we're bothered by the VP interrupting and showing displeasure with his debate rival.

[Clyde]

Did Joe say $800 billion million?

[Clyde]

Rep Ryan didn't seem to understand the issue of troop drawdown. We want our troops out yet he was condemning the administration for getting troops out and acting as if they were not being replaced by the people who actually live in the country.

I'm not saying that it doesn't happen because it does happen. But the extent Biden took it was a little far for me. Even some of the news networks said this as well that it may offended some people.

I heard the folks on Fox say that Biden and Ryan are two of the most likable people in Washington. I just thought that was interesting.

Enjoyed the exchange on BGP. Thanks to all. God Bless America.

 

(Have to turn off the TV before the Reds highlights come on.)

He came across as somewhat smug but I don't think it will be a big deal.

Biden seems like a lot of fun and Ryan will say whatever people want to hear. I believe it.

Twitter was outstanding tonight during the debate. Heck, there's even a Twitter handle now called Joe Biden's Grin.
