Felt like a scene from a really bad M Night Shymalan movie with how robotic he was.

I’ve decided I no longer find Vance funny. He’s too whiny, grating, and tedious. I look forward to never thinking about him again after the election.

I’m delighted by how bad he is at this.
The less popular he is, the better. There’s some very small percentage of even Trump’s voters that might be reluctant to vote for him again since Vance has a more than decent chance of becoming President if Trump’s elected.

Fuck, these creeps are so weird.

Talk about awkward…no one’s responding to him 🤣
GUYS? GUYS? HOW MANY BOXES OF DONUTS?!?!?!?
JFC….HOW ABOUT YOU LADY? WHAT DO YA THINK? ERMAHGERD!

I’d probably be this awkward also but I’m also not running for VP

All jokes aside this guy is truly unaware, it really is sad that this is the best that Trump could come up with for a running mate.

Honestly Ted Cruz has more personality

That was weird. Vance’s small talk:
How long has this store been here? How long have you been here? And you, how long have you been here, and that guy, how long has he been here….

Vance has to be one of the most universally terrible VP picks ever, right? Bruh cant even go to a donut shop and make small talk with actual people for a couple of minutes.

How long have you worked here? Where do you live? Do you have a couch? What do you do with your couch?
How long have you had a couch?
Ok good

I saw two different people independently compare him to the alien wearing a man’s skin from Men in Black and the similarities are uncanny.

Props to the first clerk for stating she didn’t want to be identified in the video.

He is extremely awkward, but the Harris/Walz campaign must not make the mistake of thinking debating him will be easy. Take him as seriously as you would any tough opponent. Never make the mistake of slacking off on any opponent, because that is how they can surprise you when you least expect it.

They cut the part where asked if they had any “plush donuts with good stitching.”

Did someone in his team post this? Why?
Also, any lingering shred of respect that I may have had for this guy evaporated when he had to ask a staffer how many donuts he should get.

He’s an anchor pulling Trump under. Their campaign is so negative and hopeless and Trump says his term will be about retribution. You have to be a sick fuck to vote for that

Vance: I am running for vice president.
The woman: Ok.

As somebody who worked in food service, the way she non-chalantly said “okay” when greeted by a vice presidential candidate absolutely sent me. Makes me think of how I spoke to customers who demanded that I accept their coupons.

“Whatever makes sense”
Dude, if you don’t like doughnuts, that’s fine. But your energy isn’t far off from “An amount of doughnuts enjoyed by a group of fellow human beings”.
At least we know his conversation skills rival his ability to order doughnuts.

As someone from GA, you really have to work hard to be awkward at a GA donut shop. JD Vance has gone beyond weird.

This is twenty times worse than the yowl that ended Howard Dean’s campaign.

JD Vance brings weird haircut and zero riz to a donut shop for photo op. Hard to argue with campaign strategy like that. About the only redeeming thing about this is that there is a far greater chance they paid for the donuts ..unlike their felonious leader who gives other peoples food away.
j4nkyst4nky on
Did he ever ask anyone’s name? I saw that he asked about them in their capacity as workers, seemingly just to fill time, but he seemed to really struggle making a connection to them as people. “How long have you worked here?” “Two years.” “Ok. Good.” No follow up. Just a mental checkbox that he has made human conversation with the worker.
If he had said “How do you like it here?” or something fun like “Geeze, if I worked at a donut shop for two years I might not fit through that door.” it would have felt so much more genuine. But everything about this stunt felt like a stunt. They obviously thought “Let’s stop by a simple donut shop. Show everyone we like the simple things in life. Meet some regular folk.” but the thing about meeting regular folk when you’re an out of touch politician who sees every interaction as transactional, it really highlights how irregular you are.

I love how the woman was like, “I don’t want to be on camera”. AKA, I don’t want to be a prop for your stupid political video so you can pretend to have black support. Good for her!
jameslosey on
What is so telling is how ill-prepared he was. These types of “off the cuff” campaign events are incredible scripted. The candidate had advance team that scouts locations up to a week in advance. This team is responsible for making sure that the stop will play will with the press, the location fits the campaign agenda, and that the onsite participants will contribute positively to the campaign message. Critically, many of these campaign positions are volunteers supported on a per-diem basis for basic expenses.
This viral moment screams incompetence. Either the Vance team is either totally checked out, or the purity test demanded of the latent Trump GOP is simply bleeding campaign competency.
So what does this mean? Vote. Vote like you want a functioning government. Vote like you care that the thousands of people filling politically splintered jobs in the politics government have core competency and care about their jobs and simply give a shit about doing a good job.

The man said “the zoo is in town”. Right from the very first thing he says, he was out of touch and weird. *Zoos* do not travel, JD. You’re thinking of a *circus*. The expression we humans use is “The circus is in town”

“Hello, fellow donut-lovers, how do you do!?”
I can’t believe they released that video.
okay
