Apparently it is a 50-50 opinion split. Many believe as you do. My impression was derived from watching the debate-as did others. I just happened to fall on the side believing Biden’s “Technique” worked. I will not change my vote from Republican to Democrat because I believe Biden won.
He was the shouting stain on the shirt. He was sactually laughing at the attacks in Libya, and at the abuse of our men in AFghanistan. He was off-putting to almost every woman i’ve asked about it. (whether radio or TV watched)
CNN and Luntz focus groups were repelled.
He diminished himself. He was the one with the reputation on a boffoon, an idiot with no self control who has been sequestered for 5 months.
He needed to come out and show people some stability. He didn’t. Ryan admonished him once, politely and firmly.
The final gaffe of Biden was when Ryan was discussing Mitts ability to work with democrats to get something done. Biden started laughing and said how he can never work with republicans.
Biden lost,,, totally.
