I thought his face was sort of collapsing. It seemed to become more of a wrinkly mask as the night wore on. I almost thought at the end that it was going to slide off and the only thing keeping it on his face was the smirk.
Not joking here, I really thought his face got strange...and very pale by the end.

Might be of the Draconian lineage with his budget.

I love that Biden kept laughing at him every time he told another whopper.

(21,925 posts)He lost the smirk that he was wearing on his face at the start. You could see him gulping even when he wasn't drinking. Biden broke him, like a fighter breaks another fighter through attrition where you know his defeat is just a matter of time.

(28,158 posts)I had the odd impression he was folding in on himself. It was strange watching the slow progression as he kept seeming to lose facial mass and gain skin in his face. I was wondering if his shoulders raising up were the cause of the odd transformation?
It's nice to know I didn't imagine the whole thing.

LOL
That was the effect of the smirk being wiped off his smarmy little face

(12,647 posts)I thought Ryan started looking smaller and smaller. At one point, I told my husband, Ryan should be wearing a baseball cap backwards, or better yet, a beanie with a propeller. It was such a juxtaposition to see Biden's profile in front of Ryan's full face that was continually shrinking. Raven, you're correct to note Ryan shape-shifting before our very eyes. Perhaps I can put it in a video editing software and pare it down to better see his transformation.
