tbh, I never liked him. I was massively disappointed when Obama picked him for his running mate and if it wasn't for me wanting to vote for Obama since his 2004 DNC speech, I would have opted for someone else. I even asked if they were one in the ballot in NY (as I hear in some states Pres and VP can be separate options)!
But I must admit that debate against Paul Ryan in 2012 was something else, Biden just totally knocked Ryan out. Spinning in his chair with that smile, he was sheer poetry, it was art. Ryan's chin must still be hurting,,,
Alas Joe's lost something of that edge in the years since. Not that he's gone in the head, but still...
