:58 SECOND POST-DEBATE IMPRESSIONS

THIS WAS JOE BIDEN'S FINEST HOUR-AND-A-HALF.

That alone was RIVETING, and worth more than 20,000 Hail Ronnies, our lord and savior. Biden communicated complex issues with clarity, passion, advocacy for the middle class, experience — which flattered President Obama in Joe Biden's reflected, dare I say it, gravitas. HE WAS A BRILLIANT COMMUNICATOR!
