>RNC chairman Priebus said, Biden interrupted Ryan 82 times. Now, throw in Raddatz’s interruptions cutting into Ryan’s statements, the interrupts likely approaches 100.<

Absolutely. And, the statement that Biden had 42 minutes vs Ryan’s 40 minutes of talk time can’t be taking the time Biden was talking over Ryan into account.

“I’ve been hearing the same carrot/stick routine for years now re ‘new servers / bigger pipe / etc etc’ and performance has only gotten slower over time. there’s NO WAY IN HELL this site will cope with a Presidential election in 26 DAYS ! I love FR, but these ridiculous lag times just ain’t kosher . . .”

After a post at the beginning, I gave up. I played a game while I watched the debate since this is so frustrating. It will be worse on election day, so there’s no point in coming to a live thread.

I agree with Krauthammer’s take because I listened rather than watched.

Wifey dear and I sat out by the firepit with the horses and listened on remote speakers from FOX and it sounded bad for Ryan....I kept screaming at Ryan a dozen times to fight back with specific replies that I as a usual freeper was prepped with knowledge wise....Ryan seemed like he was being schooled by tough Joe.

But Krauthammer said on TV Biden looked bad and that women hate boorish men...they do..no doubt...they can be bitchy but men had ought not be boorish...

anyhow...Chuck then said on substance that it was a draw.

Ryan better get tough and show more emotion before 2020

good man..great heart but needs a bit of fire and swagger

ironic considering how buff he is physically

are Cheeseheads deferential by nature...as a southerner I know any alpha male down here would fought back Jersey style on Biden’s arrogance

like when GWB stuck his chest out when Gore got too close...

boys...God love em..lol..roosters gots ta strut

>“If you heard it on radio, Biden won. If you watched it on television, he lost.”

Funny, but that’s exactly what they said about the Nixon/Kennedy debates.<

I was a kid when those debates occurred. Nixon just wasn’t as photogenic as Kennedy? Or did Nixon grimace or make other visual gaffes?

Just got a breaking news email from CNN: Registered voters polled = 48% Ryan vs. 44% Biden

sampling error is +/- 5% (no internal breakdown)

Probably worse for Biden with LV.

Both of those serve a useful function.

O’Biden does not.

Joe laughed away 4 dead Americans in Libya.
Obama has laughed away 2000 in Afghanistan.

They can kiss my arse.

No new equipment yet. Hopefully soon. Thanks!

Hopefully, or it won't really matter.

And they turned a blind eye to 50,000 in Iran and Syria.

Given the fact that Joe didn’t insult any racial groups or call the president a name, the dems are happy..

Martha was a joke too but that point is moot.

That was a memorable moment. It wasn't that he stuck his chest out, it was more like he looked up, as Turkey Gore was trying to alpha male into his personal space, and laughed in a relaxed way, as in "What are you doing, fool?".

Great point, I was just typing while I read so I went back and re-read the email - Yep, registered, not likely.

That is a poll trick that I have to get better at noticing

“Biden’s stupid mannerisms are going to be all that is remembered from this debate”

Yep, this will be remembered as the debate where Joe Biden acted like a jerk. That is what is going to stick in people’s mind.
