What do I think of the debate between Joe Biden and Paul Ryan?

The debate was different than the first Presidential debate. Each person was allowed more time to express their opinion. Half of the debate dealt with foreign policy matters and the other half dealt with domestic plus social issue. Before the debate, I knew that Joe Biden will win, but it wouldn't be a cake walk. The debate on foreign policy allowed Biden to be the winner. Biden defeated Paul Ryan on foreign policy matters really badly. Joe Biden was more aggressive, used statistics, and was more forceful than Paul Ryan. On economic issues, Paul Ryan wasn't as defeated as he was on the foreign policy question, but Joe Biden won the debate on that front. Joe Biden exposed Paul Ryan's hypocrispy on the stimulus issue. The reason is that Paul Ryan claims to disagree with the stimulus package and claims that it was a mistake, but Biden was right to point out that Ryan recieved stimulus money to fund areas in Ryan's home state of Wisconsin. Joe Biden wanted to promote the interests of the middle class. Even the unemployment rate of Scranton, Pennsylvania went down. Paul Ryan didn't just promote the partial privatization of Social Security, but he advcoate droconian cuts to our social safety net. Ryan back years ago was more committed to that agenda than ex-President George W. Bush. The last part of the debate talked about abortion, religious issues, and character. Then, each man gave their final statements. For most of the debate, Joe Biden controlled the debate. Paul Ryan wasn't overly aggressive as a means to not take the bait. Yet, Ryan voted for defense cuts before and he refuses now to support any defense cuts. Joe Biden was aggressive in order to cover ground on issues. Each person used stats and so forth, but I think that Joe Biden demolished Paul Ryan especially on foreign policy matters. Ryan was correct to disagree with China's one child policy since that policy includes fines, imprisonment, and sometimes forced abortions against people who oppose that policy. Paul Ryan had to concede that he doesn't want military troops to be placed in Syria since Biden said that most Americans don't want that goal to be accomplished. I find it funny that the hypocrites claim that Biden was too billigerent when Mitt Romney was billigerent and aggressive against President Barack Obama during the first debate.
