Of course left wingers would think Biden won and conservative that Ryan won. But undecideds will not like Biden's performance, his laughing, belittling, "my friend" talk, interupting etc.

Greece and Spain are "western europe", our family is Greek as well as Filipino. Unfortunately the entitlement whiner jealousy mentality that you have is the norm there, that must be why you think it's a good thing.

Boy, Dems are trying to really hype this debate into something it surely wasn't.

Not much for either side to make much out of.
Pretty uneventful if you ask me.

With very few details, Ryan looked ill-prepared to even be HS Student Council President, much less a heartbeat away from the POTUS. Simply out of his league tonight.

Biden won, get over it.

Even if you think that is that the way to have a fair debate? Independents will see that too.

Yep, he lied....

Quote:
“By the way, they talk about this great recession like it fell out of the sky–like, ‘Oh my goodness, where did it come from?’” Biden said. “It came from this man voting to put two wars on a credit card, at the same time, put a prescription drug plan on the credit card, a trillion dollar tax cut for the very wealthy.”

“I was there, I voted against them,” Biden continued. “I said, no, we can’t afford that.”

Default About That Ryan/Biden Debate Tonight

If your a D your going to think Biden won, a R Ryan won, myself I felt Biden won just because Ryan wasn't aggresive enough, he allowed Biden to get away with the rude laughing, comments and interupting, he should have been schooled on how to shut him down. I didn't like the debate.
