See, and I think the fact that the current clown didn't get smoked hurts Ryan immensely. I think that the current clown went overboard on the clownishness in order to expose Ryan's overall weakness.
I have to qualify that, though, since I often give people more credit than they deserve for sneakiness of that sort which I would employ if I was in their position. Even if it was accidental, though, and Biden really is that much of a clown, the results are the same. Ryan looks weak because he could not dominate a clown.
I thoroughly disagree. What kind of sane individual pushing 70 regards "clownishness," much less going "overboard" with it, as an appropriate demeanor?
A Republican said to me this morning that she was disappointed that Ryan didn't "take it" to Biden. That's not how I see it at all. I think Ryan realized--I certainly did--that he was going to be continually interrupted.
Ryan was prepared and dignified. He looked Presidential to me.
He didn't act the fool. Biden did with all his eye-rolling and smirking. I've never seen such a performance. Clownishness during a national debate?
