I say Biden by a good bit, but not near the thumping Obama got. Had Obama just done only as well as Biden did tonight, the election would still be pretty much over. Biden spoke right out to his real and potential constituents. Less gaffes than expected. Smile won't go down that bad, all things considered. Minor bump, perhaps a point or so, but certainly not enough to make any real difference. However, if this is followed by a good show by Obama, he will be back in the lead- but no longer by enough to guarantee anything. good show by both.

I think Plugs was playing to the base to fire them up after the POTUS poopie. I disagree that it will play well to the undecided, but time will tell I guess. Smiling and laughing with the state of the union and not really addressing real failures by this administration I just don't see swinging the middle.

Agreed......I just hope third party voters see this as an opportunity to stop the madness rather than make a statement by wasting their vote.

Damn you Ron, you sniped my post.

Biden was very rude and un professional in my opinion. The moderator was aggressive towards ryan and i think he handled it well.
I keep seeing on the boob tube that biden was stronger in the debate i think he was louder but like a boxing match i think biden threw more punches but ryan landed more...
Again very un professional and yappy

Biden clearly came across as a typical slimeball liberal politician. Whenever he was pushed into a corner by the facts presented by Ryan, he resorted to disrespectful and undignified smirking, laughing, and interrupting.

America, I truly hope you can do better than four more years of the Obama/ Biden dog and pony show.

I was disappointed in Biden... they never had my vote but damn... he was as unprofessional as one can get.... 🤐

I don't know if he changed anyone's mind but he was prolly sincere or laid out the puppy-dog eyes enough about a couple topics to either convince or scare, especially the elderly, Obama was on their side.....

Oh. Sorry.
We didn't know it was difficult.
I guess it's OK then that her partisan bias and complete ineptitude were glaringly apparent. Because, you know, it ain't easy.

If she were any less qualified, she'd probably be employed by Obama already.

A waste of my evening overall. Joe eye roller Biden made Al Gore with his sighs & smirks look like Emily Post. How can someone LAUGH when deaths and potential destruction are being discussed??? Is it a nervous tic or early dementia?

I've seen Paul Ryan show more assertiveness ordering lunch. Ryan appeared to be better informed but looked a bit overwhelmed by a guffawing drunk who had his moments but interrupted 82 times & didn't seem to grasp the importance of telling the truth from the onset. Yeah, they were never notified by Intelligence... (so true for the wrong reasons) and Intelligence fell short on the job BUT when it comes to Iran, the Intelligence will be on top... Keep barking Mr. Storeboughtteeth. Few times I agreed with this clown was on having the Afghanis fight their own wars.

But to answer the OP's question, IMO, he moderator appeared a little intimidated & awestruck by the inappropriate laugher. Biden repaid her deference by waving his finger & talking down to her at times worse than he did Ryan. ...but that didn't stop her from interrupting the Catholic altar boy Ryan over 30 times (she interrupted Biden 19 times).

Perhaps the televised debate was for the best. It showed Biden for the superficial lout he is.

But to be honest with you, I sort of felt sorry for this country all that time. I don't think we have a cure for what ails us regardless of who wins.

I added the Huffington Post channel on Roku so we could watch the debate last night.

80+ times of interrupting Ryan?

Looking at the camera and telling us who we should believe???


OMG...I can't think of a single positive this entire administration has produced...not one!

This has been the worst administration I've ever seen and I really didn't think Carter would ever be outdone.

If there are mouthbreathers out there looking for THIS debate to make up their minds...wow. Both of the Presidential candidates are younger...athletic so the worry of the Number 2 taking over is almost a non-factor. I want there to be a strong individual sitting there and in my lifetime...Bush was as good as it's ever been! He was the only VP to move forward to the White House too.

The polling is coming out on all the majors this am and they have Ryan winning this...this hot mess of stewing poo that means very little to me personally.

I still can't believe Joe Biden is the sitting Vice President of the USA.

There was a time the world watched the USA's every move to learn. The world still watches the USA's every move but it is not to learn....it is more to be wary of how the unwinding of the empire will affect them.

I think OBL said it best when he said..."DON'T kill Biden! He'll **** up a peanut butter and jelly sandwich!"

sorry .... can't hear yall over all the echos

Loosen the cinch. Sounds like you need air.🐴

I'll take that to mean that you think Joe Biden is awesome.

noobs... 🤐 🤐 🤐

no. but he did do better than ryan in my opinion. it wasnt a clock cleaning like the big o got though. it was closer.

'am I gonna get 40 seconds too..??'

😟

Are you hitting on me?

😳 😳

no, just cracking up at one of Bidens last comments... I still can't beleive it... 🤐
