Vice-Presidential Debate Live Commentary Thread

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Sign up for Ryan's amazing "Make your money work faster program!" Your choices are Enron, WorldCom, the Lehman Brothers, and Bear Sterns.

[Keystone Phil]

Joe Biden is the most unbearable person in politics.

[Alcon]

I always enjoy going back whenever someone's like "___ is turning off this swing voter/independent!" to inevitably verify that that they are, in fact, not a swing voter.

[Joe Biden 2020]

I'd say Biden's winning this right now, but its not as much of a win as Romney got. Ryan's putting up enough of a fight to make the win decently narrow. But Biden really seems like he loves this, like its what he lives for.

This is a draw right now, at best.  Nobody has a clear advantage at this point.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Biden having Al Gore moments... coming off as an ass really. He can be right but he doesn't have to smirk and grin and laugh and interrupt constantly.

And Obama isn't "surging" on Intrade. He's up about 2 points, which just means Biden is not losing the debate.

[Reaganfan]

Biden is acting like a complete ass. There's a difference between being correct and being a jerk.

[Tender Branson]

Biden +++ on taxes.

[renegadedemocrat]

Biden's just disclosing Ryan's radical views on his opposition to Obamacare. It's a significant lead to Biden at the moment.

[5280]

Biden cannot defend his record so he attacks and looks like an ass.

[Joe Biden 2020]

What I don't like is Biden is acting like he is BETTER than Ryan and not just for this country.

[Eraserhead]

This independent can't take Biden's BS anymore. Smug, arrogant, interrupted Ryan like 8 times.

Did you like Romney? He did the same thing to Obama and the moderator many more times.

[Beet]

Biden should dial down the aggression just a bit. What he's saying so far is alright though.

[Cincinnatus]

Biden is doing relatively well, but his laughing and sinister remarks could hurt him.  30 minutes in, I still have to say advantage: barely Ryan.

Are we watching the same debate, because Papa Joe is spanking the sh**t out of Ryan.

[You kip if you want to...]

Joe Biden's being more memorable. Paul Ryan just seems like generic politician.

[Gass3268]

It's like a man vs a boy out there! Come back to the big boys table Ryan when you graduate from Janesville Craig!

[Biden 2024]

I didn't even expect Biden to kick this much ass. Jesus this is amazing!

[President von Cat]

Biden needs to chill also.

But Ryan is seriously getting creamed right now. Anyone who says this is a draw needs to have their head examined.

Biden's sole job here was to stir the base. He has done that FOR SURE.

[Phony Moderate]

Joe Biden is the most unbearable person in politics.

Might be because he's the most accurate representation of the average American in politics.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Tax cuts for the rich help the economy by 9 cents per dollar spent.
Extending unemployment benefits helps something around $2-$4 per dollar, I forget the exact amount.

[Joe Biden 2020]

Can Ryan say ANYTHING without Biden smirking and laughing?

[MyRescueKittehRocks]

Biden is taking Ryan to the woodshed. This is amazing.

I just wish he would stop interrupting and laughing.

Ryan is the one taking Biden to the woodshed

[Niemeyerite]

Hey, I've discovered someone who drinks more water than JulioMadrid: Paul Ryan.

[Biden 2024]

Can Ryan say ANYTHING without Biden smirking and laughing?

That depends if Paul Ryan is still himself while speaking. If Ryan keeps being himself, Biden can not stop laughing.

[Joe Biden 2020]

JOE, STOP INTERRUPTING RYAN!!!!

[Eraserhead]

Biden is taking Ryan to the woodshed. This is amazing.

I just wish he would stop interrupting and laughing.

Ryan is the one taking Biden to the woodshed

Umm, no.
