    And in the 1994 MTV video music awards Sandra Bullock read Adam Sandler’s lines off the teleprompter.

      And in 1992 Bill Clinton won over the youth vote by going on MTV lol be and answering random questions from teens.

      That’s what people forget, Bill and Obama were young and charismatic, and that’s how they got elected.

      Biden isn’t.

      You can be upset that youth and charisma are such big advantages, but complaining doesn’t win elections, running popular candidates does

          Much better than Sandra did, to be honest. The crowd was clearly into it and she just spent the whole time looking wholly uncomfortable and seemingly not understanding what was going on.

            Yeah. I get it – she was probably trapped in heart-stopping panic and just wanted to get through as quickly as possible so she could flee the stage, and he was prolonging things.

            But yeah she was just standing there awkwardly, stiffly refusing to go with it when he defused the tension and kept things moving and made people laugh about it in a good way.
