Having watched the vice presidential debate on Oct. 11, I was appalled with Vice President Joe Biden’s demeanor!

How can parents possibly be successful teaching their children to have respect for others when they saw how Biden was smirking, smiling, laughing, shaking his head and generally acting like a spoiled brat? Paul Ryan, who was serious when trying to get his two-minute explanation to the question answered, was interrupted numerous times.

Go to the polls on Nov. 6 and let’s hope we have a good change this year.
