Here's what some of our Facebook fans had to say:

Lynn: Biden challenged Ryan on the lies and non-answers. He was schooled.

Douglas: What's interesting is it seemed so obvious to me. Martha had an agenda and it was not to be independent. Biden just came across as a snake oil salesman. I want to watch it again knowing others saw the exact opposite.

Diane: Got pretty tired of the snickers and laughter from Biden. Made him look pretty juvenile, not taking anything seriously.

John: Joe kicks it!
