Just In Case You Missed The Bizarre Trump/Pence Air Kiss

What was Donald Trump thinking? We know he’s not shy about expressing his feelings. But an air kiss for Mike Pence on national TV?

Granted, Pence did a good job on his speech, and The Donald was happy.  One observer described Trump’s attempt as “fatherly.”  The Twitterverse had lots of fun.

But for Pence, it was awkward.  He’s just not that kind of guy.
