Vice-Presidential Debate Live Commentary Thread

[tmthforu94]

Why is Biden being so rude? And why is "Martha" letting it happen?

[Joe Biden 2020]

The pundits seem to be lining up being Joe. Sorry GOPers, but they're the opinion makers...

what pundits? There is 50 minutes left and the post debate shows haven't started

The debate ends at 10:30 pm ET.

Ryan is not talking like an adult on foreign policy.

[Bandit3 the Worker]

Bill Maher is so far to the left, he is about as useful as Rush Limbaugh.

Are you talking about the same Bill Maher who attacked Occupy?

[Marokai Backbeat]

I am glad that my mind isn't wired like some of you lighthearted magic centrists that seem to value tone over policy accuracy. "Oh gosh golly, Joe isn't being nice to little Paul Ryan! What a meanie!"

Someone mentioned before that dems are wanting a win so bad they can't look@ it objectively. I'm seeing two completely different approaches by the candidates. Joe is in ultra attack mode and Ryan is playing a cool game appealing to indys.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

The pundits seem to be lining up behind Joe. Sorry GOPers, but they're the opinion makers...

And this, not style, not content, not even the debate is what matters.  Just look at the first Obama-Romney debate.

[You kip if you want to...]

Um, no Paul, Martha didn’t mention your disgusting views on abortion…

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Life begins at bean.

[Inmate Trump]

I don't think either man has a clue what he's talking about.  And both are completely out of line by continuously interrupting each other.  It's simple: mod asks a question, one candidate answers, the other responds; if a point needs to be made to discount your opponent you make it once they've finished speaking, not during.  This is all one big joke, and my opinion of both men and both tickets has lowered tremendously.

[Joe Biden 2020]

What's disgusting about life beginning at conception?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Ryan is not talking like an adult on foreign policy.

To such an extent that it was actually vaguely funny.

[Jacob]

"national security interest of the American people".

That means if they have oil, right?

[7,052,770]

I don't like this question. They didn't ask how Catholicism affects beliefs on war etc.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Somehow Ryan's anti-abortion rant became an anti-ObamaCare rant.

Umm, Ryan, it's RomneyCare that funds abortions, not ObamaCare.

[Niemeyerite]

Please, Biden, mention Romney changing position on abortion. Please.

[Adam Griffin]

Biden's stomping Ryan in the "lines" on CNN in regards to abortion.

Agreed.

Ryan is not talking like an adult on foreign policy.

To such an extent that it was actually vaguely funny.

And quite distinctly scary.

[Beet]

Ryan, birth control makes abortion more rare.

[Eraserhead]

Did you have a problem with Romney when he was "rude"?

[Svensson]

I am glad that my mind isn't wired like some of you lighthearted magic centrists that seem to value tone over policy accuracy. "Oh gosh golly, Joe isn't being nice to little Paul Ryan! What a meanie!"

Fun fact: it's not that he's being aggressive. That's nothing new. It's more that it's astounding that this country could ever elect a ticket with such an arrogant old f[Inks]ing bastard on it.

There's a difference between being a rude and friendly, Biden is a rude arrogant ass.

[Biden 2024]

ROFL "Bean".
