VP Debate.

Ryan VS Biden. It was quite entertaining.

I'll start by explaining that yes, I am a republican, I've been raised in a home where that's the only way, and my mom was a huge part of the Bush campaign in Iowa. I realize I have bias, but I can still clearly see the right choice. (Bad pun, I know.)

Sometimes I find debates really boring, but this one was just plain entertaining. In my opinion, Biden acted like a complete fool. He was rude, belligerent, cocky, and immature, despite his age and experience. Ryan was confident, calm, and polite. 

They often showed the split screen while the two were debating, showing the opponents  reactions to one another. Biden constantly made a smirk, laugh, chuckle, making gestures with his arms, and even an eye roll while Ryan was trying to explain his side. Many people, including Democrats, saw this as extremely rude and immature behavior and said so in interviews after the debate. 

Another rude thing that Biden constantly did was interrupt Ryan. Martha Raddatz, the woman who monitored and gave the questions for the debate, would sometimes ask Biden his questions first, and then Ryan would respond. Biden demanded an opportunity to respond to what he said, even though he should have said all he needed to when he got his chance. He interrupted Ryan so many times, constantly complaining that he wasn't getting the same amount of time as Ryan, when in fact, overall he had about a minute more. Biden had 41 minutes and 32 seconds, Ryan had 40 minutes and 12 seconds. I thought the way Raddatz gave the debate was a little unfair. The majority of the time she asked Ryan first, so then Biden just responded to what he said, not answering the original question and saying what HE would do for the country. It also didn't give Ryan a chance to respond to Biden's answer.

Biden could never give a straight answer. When asked what Obama and him would do for the country, or how they would solve a certain subject, he never gave a straight answer on what they would do, and then he went and said Ryan never gave straight answers! Biden just went around the subject. Ryan thoroughly explained his answers to America's problems. Much like Obama's campaign ads, Biden didn't say what THEY would do to help the country, they just said what Republicans will or won't do that will "harm" it. He constantly just blamed all of what Obama has caused on Bush or other Republicans, even as far back as Regan! Why can't they just tell us how they are going to help the country? The answer is clear. They won't. They haven't in the past 4 years, they had their chance, it's time for someone new.

  1. Donc, ce que vous dites, c'est que vous savez le meilleur candidat républicain, pas le meilleur candidat pour choisir ensemble?
