(4,551 posts)3. I don't think people should predict Biden is going to flatten Ryan
Look what happened when people predicted Obama would do that to Romney.
In reality it's very rare for one opponent to knock out another because most politicians are pretty skilled at this sort of thing and usually it ends up being a draw.
If Biden ends up 'winning', I will be very happy, but it's unwise to raise expectations.
Most important thing is to avoid any major problems.

The GOP thinks Ryan, who is a debate geek,will kill Biden.

and abruptly ended an interview. This made me think he could be toppled but yes I'm only rah rah about Biden here, otherwise lowered expectations are the rule

(36,974 posts)6. I'm wondering if Ryan really lost it or if it was an act. It was at the end of the interview ...
and perhaps he threw a hissy-hit to just make some news and to make Biden 'think' he has a quick temper.
Can't take anything that Ryan and Romney do nowadays at face value, without looking for an ulterior motive.
