10 Questions for the Vice Presidential Debate

Heritage;   10 Questions; five on Domestic policy and five on  foreign policy. 
Don't take Biden for a fool in this debate; he goes for the jugular. But first he will praise and stroke Paul Ryan to throw him off before going into his blue-collar anger schtick.

Biden: 'You Ever See Me Rope-a-Dope?'

So, what's rope-a-dope? 
Today rope-a-dope refers to any strategy that involves "playing the loser" to "come out the winner." Rope-a-dope strategy implies the need for sharp technical skills to "take the hits" on the downside, and shrewd timing to break through at the proper moment to claim victory. Political strategists, pundits, politicians, business men and even combat tacticians use the phrase to refer to risky maneuvers that take one from a position of the seeming underdog to one of victor.

"Which ones? Well, in the interest of space, let’s stick to the top five:"
