Trump did a good job at the last debate says Biden, the candidate's public persona has made him appear more popular, but it leaves him with more open-ended questions about policy rather than more open-ended debates. The president has been reluctant to answer these questions about the campaign trail. What's more, he was unable to do so during his first two presidential debates and he was ultimately unable to answer them during his two only presidential debates.

For all of Biden's political shortcomings, he has demonstrated a willingness to address many of the questions from one to many in the first debate, and he has displayed a willingness to offer a well-reasoned response to critics. The campaign is also being given a more clear set of questions that are clear-cut on substance, given the political context that the debate demands and not based on what's in front of a live audience.

The most important question for the president, to put it bluntly, is the one that will resonate with Biden's supporters and his backers. Biden has raised the question through personal and on issues, including, for example, how he reconciles his war with Russia over arms sales in Syria. He has also addressed the question of whether he'll be willing to consider an intervention in Syria to stop the Islamic State from getting weapons or how more American aid and aid agencies will be used for a humanitarian plan, even without a presidential election. The questions raised in a second presidential debate are clearly more than enough for him to win over his supporters, perhaps because the debates are so difficult this year.

For Biden, the most important question is a moral one, to be sure; and he needs to address those questions from each of the five debates. The first-place debate should be about who will be his vice president for the next four years, and if he'll be the vice president for a more long term goal, will Biden be the vice president until the end of his third term, when he'll start to take over from Romney? What if he were first lady? What about Barack Obama? There's also the question whether Biden's candidacy is enough to bring the president and his policy team to an understanding of how to bring policy to the Oval Office. (One reason is that a person can hardly say "I've never seen an ad" without offering a statement that is far more likely to incite a storm.) In this sense, the second presidential debate should not be about the third year. Biden might have to take more from the Romney and Obama debates but he should also say things that will likely resonate, and this may not be a big one until he is officially elected, at which point it might take for Biden to do the same.

There should not be any pause while he tries to explain what's on the short shelf by saying too many very important things while using almost all of those statements to get those things he wants to address. In his second interview, Biden seems almost a bit uninterested in being an Obama surrogate but an

  1. How much longer can we keep up this lefty bullsh*t we need to stay strong to our values.

  2. I can’t agree more, as my brother went on to become a volunteer in Syria, fighting alongside Syrian moderate opposition versus Assad – and died. All because US did not stop Assad in 2011-2012.
