My Republican friend that runs GOP campaigns on saying Ryan won big

They said nothing about Obama-Romney debate post debate. When they are out fast covering for Ryan it means he lost, probably bad. "Biden was too aggressive". Of course they were going to say that, but the fact is they didn't feel they need to say a word about Romney last week and tonight 5 post debate posts. The difference of 1 week

Robme was aggressive, rude and petulant both to the President and to the moderator.

So Biden gambled he needed to be more forceful and not let Lyin-Ryan play any games. Unfortunately to some he may have come across as being too forceful. But when you are dealing with lying, immoral opponents you have to take these precautions.

Had Ryan done well, my friend likely wouldn't have posted at all. Last week he posted nothing post debate. When your talking up reaction on CNBC you know your searching for good press.

I was stunned he never talks politics on social media. I mean last week he said nothing about Romney. This week 7 posts he's up to. I dare not ask him what he really thinks of the debate. As I said chatting up Ryan seems like a horrible sign. Republicans wouldn't like if they heard GOP campaign men tell them what they really think of GOP voters.

If we do it it's bad. Hannity just said that Biden came across as rude and interrupting, so that's bad.

When Romney did it last week, that's OK.

Got it?
