    Joe Biden demolished Paul Ryan in that 2012 Vice Presidential debate. I don't know how his cognitive capabilities are holding up at an advanced age, but it would be a mistake to dismiss his raw skill as a political rhetorician

        I would give your argument more weight if: 1. Paul Ryan were not an idiot, and therefore not remotely relevant to Biden's overall level of skill 2. Biden's public statements did not regularly come out sounding like a MadLib

        I remember watching that debate years ago. To be honest, I thought both of Ryan and Biden were absolutely dreadful to watch.

        I and others didn’t see it that way. Biden came off as the petulant asshole he is. Ryan might have been too respectful. Also msm protecting their precious Obama campaign.? Biden is not smart. You can see it quickly when he talks

        Most people aren’t doubting his skill, they’re doubting his judgment and taking issue with his long term support for terrible policies.

        Then he went on to praise him for trying to cut Social Security and Medicare. Let’s see how that position holds up.

        I specifically remember that debate, going in thinking how Paul Ryan would steamroll and make an old dumb guy like Biden look horrible, and left puzzled how Biden was actually the one to make Ryan look clueless. In the end I voted third party, and that may have played a role.

        Honestly? That had everything to do with Paul Ryan's poor political skills. He never improved, by the way.

        Biden was only ever good on a "politician scale" not on a "logical human being scale" ...with people who don't know his horrible record on individual rights.https://youtu.be/7HcJJE2Sp28
