Biden Got Beat


Vice President Joe Biden is supposed to be the muscle in this administration. Last night he did a fair job at what he does, but still no cigar yet. Since the president likes the game of basketball so much. Let's use it to make an analogy. The Democrats are like the Oklahoma Thunder. The president is Kevin Durant, and Joe Biden is Kendrick Perkins. Perkins disagrees with every call that is made against him. According to him, he never fouls or makes a bad play. He isn't much of a scorer. But he makes it possible for Durant to score forty points. He is somewhat restrained by the men in the striped shirts. But you still have to be able to hold your own in the paint. If you can't, he'll run over you. That's what Paul Ryan did last night. He held his own. He didn't get schooled.

Joe Biden was his usual rude,condescending self. You only hear from him at convention and election time.  Unless they need to do some damage control.  Like they did last night. The vice president slot is basically ceremonial. Joe Biden did what he always does. Take the attention off the facts and hammer in the talking points.  It was easy last time against Sarah Palin. In addition to not having a good grasp of the issues. Her biggest drawback was she was a female. America had already chose a black man over a woman.  And the country knew and liked her. There was going to be a white man on the ticket regardless. With a black man and a white woman running the country.  White men couldn't sleep. In repayment for all his years of service on the hill. Joe Biden served as the sleeping pill.

The keyword here is specific. The Democrats are going to try and build a case off of that. Democrats might be detailed in their description. But does it work? Joe Biden spent the whole night asking  Paul Ryan for details. Instead of explaining why this administration's policies haven't worked.  Joe Biden has been a Senator for thirty-six years. He definitely knows how to kick the can. Democrats were impressed with his intimidation tactics. To me that just shows Biden got beat.
