side and 'a MUST WIN', a 'if Biden doesn't win it will never stop their momentum and all is lost' for ours.

It's bullshit. We should be playing the hand we're dealt instead of sticking our heads in the sand and just not watching.

That is how they win. That is how Al Gore 'said he invented the internet'. (aside: no he didn't) That is how Dean's scream gets done. It's bullshit.

We need to play the hand we're dealt and relentlessly.

If Paul Ryan doesn't win this debate HANDS DOWN, it will be clear that the GOP is in disarray.
