        “Ok, good.”

        I’m kinda socially awkward, and this is what my dialogue skills were like five or six years ago, but someone running for vice president should maybe, idk, take a single decent public speaking class?

          Kinda awkward too. Seth Meyers did a bit where he went with Joe Biden to get ice cream. He asked the employees if they liked ice cream. It’s kinda a silly question because they just work there.

          It’s just a really bad idea to go into a place with no advance notice with a bunch of cameras. These aren’t actors, they just work at a donut shop, what do you expect to happen? The woman immediately saying “I don’t want to be on TV” makes a lot of sense. She’s just working a shift, hasn’t had a chance to put on some makeup and make herself look nice for the cameras. It’s just ambushing regular people and expecting it to come out good. Dumb move all around.
