    I’m not trying to insinuate anything about vance or insult him or anyone else.

    That said, that donut shop interaction genuinely felt to me like a reality TV show that attempted to help a neurodivergent person socialize. Like they gave him pointers on smalltalk like asking simple questions about people. He locked in on “how long have you worked here” and interrogated every employee with that single question followed by “OK good.”

    I know he can talk, it’s just incredible how bad his interpersonal skills are.

      Oh I definitely am. He’s a grown adult and a politician, he absolutely should have the media training to answer a simple question like “Why would a Wisconsinite have a beer with you?”

      The easy homerun answer is “Oh there’s a lot of great breweries here in the state! A lot of great choices while having some squeaky cheese curds.” Seriously in 1 sentences I just called out 2 major industries within the state that they’re well known for across the nation, beer brewing and the dairy/cheesemaking industry. Like it’s so braindead easy to do.
