#tellusatoday: Significance of Biden, Ryan debate

other unrestricted

We asked our readers on Twitter what they thought the significance of the vice presidential debate was, and also who they thought won. Includes comments tweeted elsewhere during the debate. Edited for grammar and style.

The millions who are undecided were the real winners tonight. Two opposing views on which direction our country should be governed.

To know Biden is only a heartbeat away from being president is a very scary thought.

We asked readers on Twitter for their thoughts on the significance and performance of Vice President Biden and Paul Ryan during the debate.

During this debate, Biden is being very rude and disrespectful.

I want Joe Biden to stand up for my point of view when it comes to women's rights, seniors, health care, kids, teachers and workers.

For an issue that could be about life or death for millions of Americans, that abortion debate was way too low-key.

Tonight's debate seals the deal on who's best qualified to succeed the president in any emergency: #PaulRyan.

Candidates need to debate real issues instead of politicizing things to polarize the electorate.

--@TravisStearns

@RepPaulRyan hasn't said one truth all night or all campaign!

--@BostonAtheist13

Biden won tonight. Didn't let Ryan get away with lying. Raised issue of honesty. Ryan refused specifics on budget and war on women.
