1. I thought I heard him say, "take it easy on me, kid!" :D

[Sparkly]

2. I heard that, too.

[Cha]

3. lol

[VarryOn]

4. he did nt

[underpants]

5. Best ticket those two

[flamingdem]

11. I wish!

If only..

6. She's smart. She's vying for POTUS, but doesn't want to burn bridges...

She's smart. She's vying for POTUS, but doesn't want to burn bridges and lose any opportunity to be VPOTUS.

[JI7]

7. they are both great

[Otto Lidenbrock]

8. Bit different from "Can I call you Joe?"

[DrToast]

13. Noooooooooo....trying to forget her.

[JI7]

14. all because she wanted to use the "say it ain't so Joe" line

[PatSeg]

35. Also

during debate prep, she kept saying O'Biden. Calling him Joe prevented her from screwing up his name.

That was an unforgettable night. I never dreamed it could get weirder than Sarah Palin.

[nolabear]

9. I like his sense of humor. But it's right on point too.

[honest.abe]

10. Nice. I like that.

[Tarc]

12. patronizing to the last, Mr. V-P

[yardwork]

30. I don't see it as patronizing.

[Tarc]

34. Good for you

[yardwork]

42. Your post is, though. Noted.

[Tarc]

43. So "no, you are" ?

Blocked

[yardwork]

44. Keep focusing on infinitesimally small issues.

[PatSeg]

36. No, I don't see that at all

That is so not how Joe Biden behaves.

[silentEcho]

15. "Kid"? Biden has a way of being condescending, in the cutest of ways, with women.

Ok. So, lets see what tonight brings us.

On edit, I might patronizing, better, reading a post above.

[BannonsLiver]

16. A funny little moment

Some folks could stand to lighten the fuck up.

[Princetonian]

17. Seriously.

Same folks see nothing wrong with Harris implying Joe is a racist.

[still_one]

18. Ironic isn't it

[Princetonian]

22. Harris did the "Joe is a racist" thang again, said Joe "worked with segregationists"

Note that Harris never addressed the fact that her office suppressed evidence that would have set people free.

[still_one]

23. Regardless of the Media hype, the talking heads, and the candidate bias here, it didn't help her the

last time, and it isn't going to work this time

[bigtree]

26. first of all she didn't say 'thang.' Blackspeak isn't cute, it's a slur.

...and she responded to the moderator's question, gave an answer consistent with what she said in the first debate.

Sen. Harris in the first debate:

"I do not believe you are a racist. I agree with you when you commit yourself to the importance of finding common ground."

[Princetonian]

28. I am a woman of color. Do not play the race card against me.

Everyone outside of her partisans knows what she did at the last debate.

[bigtree]

29. then you should know better than to represent this black woman in that way

...it's disrespectful and crass.

You:

"Harris did the "Joe is a racist" thang again, said Joe "worked with segregationists""

Joe Biden didn't just compromise with segregationists. He fought for their cause in schools, experts say.

31. What's disrespectful and crass is Harris' continued bullsh*t attacks on Joe.

Harris is not going to win SC by continuing to imply Joe's a racist.

[bigtree]

32. well now we have Joe 'attacking' Harris

...Joe needs to rely on more than his history if he doesn't want anyone to talk about it.

Or develop a thicker skin.

37. Thank you

It was funny and Biden style charming.

[Devil Child]

41. Amen to that! n/t

[GulfCoast66]

19. It's been my hope that those 2 are our ticket for almost a year.

Biden/Harris would be win. Perhaps big.

Biden alone brings out the Obama coalition.

Together they exceed it.

[zackymilly]

20. Harris/Biden nt

[GulfCoast66]

21. Works as well. But don't see Joe doing the veep thing again.

[Thekaspervote]

24. With ya there.

[GulfCoast66]

25. I think his motivation is different this time.

No doubt you don’t run for President without a supercharged ego. But I think Joe really believes he is the man to beat back Trump.

Obviously, I agree.

But, hell, I like Harris as well.

Tonight’s exchange between them gives me hope we might get both.

[Demsrule86]

27. I was angry during the first debate but tonight...I don't think she is the one for VP...her debate

performance was lackluster and and she does have baggage.

[GulfCoast66]

33. Anyone who has accomplished anything has baggage!

Politics is like that.

But I really like her. She has actually done things and seen how the real world works.

On a ticket with Biden I think she adds a ton.

Plus, the base of our party here in the south is really African American women. No getting around it. They already support Joe. But with such a qualities African American woman available I would love to see her on the ticket.

But there are others as well. And no guarantees that any of the people on the stage the last 2 nights will be the veep pick.

I guarantee you one thing. If Biden takes the nominations he will take his pick more seriously than anyone else. He understands how important a loyal and respectful Vice President is in making a great President.

[PatSeg]

39. That's a good point

Joe was probably the best VP imaginable for Obama. I can imagine if nominated, he will be looking for HIS Joe Biden. Probably a woman of course.

[PatSeg]

38. That was my hope as well

Now I'm rather thinking Biden/Warren, though its possible Joe might look outside of the presidential lineup for a VP if he wins the nomination.

[Skya Rhen]

40. Joe hinted at the possibility of choosing a woman who is not currently running. During his interview

with CNN's Chris Cuomo, several weeks ago, he said the following:

"Regarding a running mate, there are lots of women around the country - women who are not running for President, as well, who are fully qualified to be Vice President. There are lots of qualified women out there..."

I won't be surprised if he chooses a WOC who is not even on the general public's radar - someone who is qualified and whom he can trust. The likelihood of this increases if Jill Biden has any say, which she most definitey will...

[PatSeg]

45. Yes, its very likely

that is the way he'll go.
