Vice President Biden won the VP debate, and I think he won it, in large part, by being a demagogue.
After Ryan explained his views on privatizing Social Security, Biden said, "You saw how well that worked." This is how Democrats debate privatizing Social Security--they make it sound risky and scary. "Look what happened when the market crashed! That is what Republicans want to happen to your retirement!"
If I were debating Biden, I would have asked if he had any of his retirement in investments or if he was depending solely on Social Security. Then said, "what we need is a plan that allows for more returns but still maintains a minimum benefit." I am puzzled as to how Republicans can't win this argument. It's a choice! Nobody has to put their money in the stock market!
