devastating part of the debate last night, the more important thing is that moment, itself, fits a pattern. it's about this problem with paul ryan's brand which i think earned him the vice presidential nomination. paul ryan's brand as a serious principled policy guy. the more attention paul ryan's record gets the less that brand for him makes sense to an almost ridiculous degree now. some of these things got called out last night directly by joe biden in front of that giant tv audience. but not all of them got called out. i mean, say it this way. the first one happened right away at the top of the debate, where you could see this huge distance in what paul ryan says he believes, and how he has behaved when he's had choices to make about these things that he says he has these beliefs about. this was the beginning of last night's debate on the topic of libya. >> when we look weak our adversaries are much more willing to test us, more brazen in attacks -- and our allies are less willing -- >> with all due respect, that's a bunch of malarky. >> why is that so? >> not a single thing he said is accurate. first of all --
