Very different from +3% to GDP. +3% GDP is ridiculous.

I feel like Biden is crushing it, but he needs to let Ryan speak

Ryan, oddly enough, has had about equal speaking time.

If you believe Al Gore it was the climate.

Even the moderator is interrupting and getting in jabs. It's like a double team lmao.

Standard nonsense attack. Attack the points raised not the credibility of the people giving them. Doing so just makes you look like an ass unwilling to respond to arguments.

moderator started better than this, shes following up ryan well. she needs to question biden as hard as she did at the start. harder questions can be a plus, and you dont seem biased either.

No he isn't. Ryan literally has 1min less speaking time out of ~25min that they've each had.

ryan is speaking just fine, his time and bidens time is almost the same (i wonder if CNN is counting bidens over speaking though)

Mmm. Moderator getting a little shady here.

That doesn't excuse that in his half time he's said very, very little of substance.

Ok I was at first thinking "well Romney did too" but youre right. This is ridiculous and the moderator keeps helping Biden. I want Biden to win, but legitimately

Maybe that's true, but like a 1/4th of it is trying to say the same thing because he can't get it out due to Biden speaking over him.

The fix is in for this debate. The moderator is a hack. Biden is just talking over Ryan. This is not going to play well with the public. I'm sure that the MSNBC crowd will jizz their pants about what is happening. I doubt anyone else will.

Even with that highly optimistic assumption of growth Rosen still requires tax raises on 100k-200k families, which is middle class.
