Twitter already buzzing about it.... He's beating the shit out of Ryan but the media will play up the condescending angle, you best believe it...

(238 posts)You have to just give in and be yourself. That's what I love about Biden. Ryan deserves the laughs anyway.
Let the pundits pundate, or whatever the fuck they do. They can really all go fuck themselves.

(550 posts)They didn't have a problem with Romney being all shine, bluster, playing fast and loose with the truth. Fuck them. If someone says something patently ridiculous, they deserve to be laughed at.
If these "debates" are simply scored on who is displaying what the commentators arbitrarily decide is "the right body language" for the night, and they actually end up influencing the election result, the USA is the most backwards, limp nation in the western world.

(3,370 posts)Everyone was whining that Romney "won" the debate and he was up there smirking his little face off. They whined that Obama appeared "too nice." Now we're going to whine that Biden giggles? Stop playing into the media hype. Relax.

(322 posts)Right now he's hauling Ryan's *ss out to the junkyard. I think people will be focusing on the content more than how he fills his non-speaking time.

(21,594 posts)God, I hate the media if they turn this wipeout into a Biden loss because of the smiles. I think the smiles are VERY effective and working to belittle Ryan.

(827 posts)but you already see some claiming this was out of desperation, blah blah blah....
condescending, etc...
but Biden crushed Ryan. I mean this was embarrassing. Even Palin did better in 2008.
