So did Ryan just say that he and Romney won't increase defense spending? Because Romney has been telling people forever about the extra $2 trillion he's gonna throw their way.
 
Well, since the right is already making excuses for the piss poor job Ryan is doing, I guess we know who is winning this one.
 
Honestly, I have no idea how the viewing audience is going to react to this waste of time.

No in depth discussion, a contest of gotchas, Biden being a laughing hyena, Ryan snowplowed by the constant interruptions, the moderator not knowing how to react to Biden's blatant impoliteness...
 
She has stopped Biden plenty too. But Biden is winning. Ryan just has the same old platitudes and vague bs.
 
oh boohoo would you like some cheese with that wine?

Ryan can't debate worth jack so blame the moderator!

Hmm blabbering old man who is allowed to throw out mis information without being asked for specifics...whreas Ryan gets grilled...what is this a substitute ref situation, its a joke
 
The old man is kicking Ryan's ass!

Romney can kiss his debate bounce goodbye.

Getting your excuses all lined up for the ass-whooping Ryan is enduring?
 
250k for a small business is peanuts. Biden seems to want to hit anyone higher than that. Ryan believes in voodoo economics. Biden still needs to shut up I'm not impressed by his mouth. I'm not impressed with Ryans lack of specifics.

Yeah right are you even in business? To get 250k income you need to generate over 2 million in sales.
 
The conservatives I follow on Twitter are already busy spinning this as the unfair result of a leftist moderator.

Ryan getting owned on lack of specifics. He does look a little green up there next to Biden, especially when it comes to foreign policy.

Biden is being rude, interrupting, and cutting off Ryan but he's fighting tonight. This isn't about winning over the Independents, it's about firing up the base.

Obama will work to swing those few Independents in the next debate.

I just thought the same thing, but really she's just asking ryan for specifics, and he doesn't have them.

She asked Ryan to PUT ASIDE the sequestering both sides agreed to when talking about defense cuts, and Ryan just continued to spout scare statistics all based on those looming cuts -- pure deception.

She tried to get him to argue honestly and he wouldn't.
