(24,722 posts)seniors, & to those in need. He was clearly more knowledgable & seasoned on foreign policy. All around, Biden's maturity & common sense won this debate for him. Ryan came across as wet behind the ears with a bag full of experimental ideas that surely had to have sounded scary to viewers who are more experienced in life, particularly on the Social Security & Medicare programs.
His most brilliant answer was to the question, how would his Catholic faith affect his view in regard to the country's abortion policy. He said that, as a Catholic, he believed that life began with conception but he could not impose his religious beliefs on a nation that included such a diverse range of religions with different beliefs than his.
Other than the fact that there was no time for Biden to fully address Ryan's lies on Obama's record, I'm very pleased with the debate.
