Moderator is really going after the questions. Better moderator than Jim Lehrer. Sorry, Jim.
“That was the recommendation of the Joint Chiefs of Staff!”
I think having the moderator seated at the table with the two candidates is making it much easier for her to control the ebb and flow of the debate.
Be interesting to see if she successfully restrains herself from slapping Ryan.
The split-screen is fun. Ryan visibly gulped whrn Biden dropped the bin Laden bomb.
Why does Ryan even try to do folksy, personable? He doesn’t have Reagan in his veins.*
*I’m no fan of Reagan, but I do recognize he was a master at the personal touch.
Ryan on Afghanistan: “We want to do what Obama’s doing, but more…better”. Oh, sweet Jesus.
Obama on pot, Biden on amphetamine…go Joe!
No, they did not, in fact the AARP made the point that they never took an official position, but most of the people that look at how AARP is bound to benefit from Obamacare report that for practical reasons the AARP is in favor of Obamacare, they just can not have an official position on it, but many already see where the AARP is going for.
“My friend in Janesville”: wrong tact to take, with no substance whatsoever. Now he tries to turn it back to jobs.
Take the last train to Janesville, Paulie Boy!
I wish Joe would quit saying Kah-BULL; it’s Cobble, Joe. Otherwise, strong position, well stated.
I do hope Biden cools it with the interrupting and talking over Ryan. Ryan is digging his own grave just fine. I’m afraid the media narrative will be all about Biden’s laughing and “smirking”, though.
Whoa, Joe, don’t be accusing the moderator of lying, now…
25 minutes to go. This is a cliff-hanger (I hate confrontation).
Ooh, Ryan’s gonna 'splain.
I bet Ryan could run 26.2 miles away from this debate in under three hours.
Ryan: What year is it?
Does that look on Ryan’s face remind anyone else of that look Frodo gets in the LotR movies when he doesn’t know what to do next?
Sharing.
It is like Ryan still thinks we should never leave Afghanistan, it is always forever war for guys like him.
I think it is a little late for that at this point, but I agree. I don’t like Ryan but I am still getting annoyed at Biden.
