Of course...Don't be absurd...Those things matter to them every bit as much as they mean to the GOP.....

The are so obvious about it. People who watch and listen are stupid if they just go along with what these pundits say.

(5,810 posts)7. I guess the Republican pundits were too busy looking at Joe to notice
That THEIR man also had some expressions, including that sappy smile he gets that looks so condescending it makes me want to gag. He laughed at times, too. I figure they are simply grasping at straws since Joe didn't make any HUGE mistakes that they could instantly label a "gaffe".
They were so hoping he would stumble and make a goof up and when that didn't happen they had to go for his demeanor. Joe was lively, on his game and not about to let Ryan make untruthful statements that went unchallenged.
He didn't disappoint and I think hit a reset button so that this game is back on! Thanks, Joe. This is one Democrat who slept like a baby last night and got up with a renewed spirit. We're ready to carry this to the end.....right into victory lane!

Americans love someone with a backbone and Joe delivered.
That's why Big Dawg Bill is and will always be so popular.
Loved Joe's performance last night. Ryan, on the other hand, was creepy.

the media seems to side with Joe.

Joe's smiles were real.
