> Twitter's big winner from Tuesday's V.P. debate? Joe Biden
> 
> 
> As Twitter users geared up for Tuesday night’s vice-presidential debate, there was less of a sense of dread or excitement that prefaced the first presidential debate of 2016. 
> 
> Instead it seemed that most people were tuning into the dialogue between Republican vice presidential nominee Mike Pence and Democratic nominee Tim Kaine out of something resembling grim resignation. 
> 
> It’s a feeling that only intensified as the debate revealed itself to be 90 minutes of two largely interchangeable, snowy-locked, older men squabbling with each other about what Donald Trump <http://www.latimes.com/projects/la-na-all-things-trump> has or has not said.
> 
> Gone was the Tim Kaine of the Democratic National Convention, who won Twitter over with his dad jokes and terrible Trump impression, replaced by a serial interrupter. Present was the Mike Pence who seemed to be running with an alternate universe Donald Trump who was well-reasoned and judicious about language.
> 
> It was at that moment that Twitter’s collective hive mind thought back on happier times, when a different snowy-locked, older man won our hearts and our attention with his memorable vice presidential debate performances. 
> 
> And so, a nation turned its lonely eyes to Joe Biden.
> 
> RT if you're already missing Joe Biden.

> Many Twitter users were pondering where Biden was at the moment and how he was enjoying the debate. 
> 
> President Obama has already put his phone on “do not disturb” mode because Biden won’t stop texting him.

> In the end, the country has no choice. Barring a third party resurgence, either Kaine or Pence will be the new president’s right hand man come inauguration in January. Joltin’ Joe has left and gone away.
