You’re right. Biden won the debate by showing the world what a pushover Paul Ryan was.
I remember that debate; I don’t like a thing about Biden but he beat the living tar out of Paul Ryan. The only debate I’ve seen that was more lopsided was when Reagan scored Carter in 1980. Called him “boy”, interrupted and Ryan did not counter punch in the slightest. It was almost as though he threw the debate. Ryan sure lived up to his image from that debate as House Speaker, didn’t he? A real Bush “Republican”.
