She started talking about Magic Johnson’s number being 32 and then said there are 32 days until the election. Check out the look on her face — you can see the moment that it happened, and then the desperate “filler” words as she waited for it to come back:

She was completely unsure what to do next. How can you ever put someone like that in charge, in such an important positiont? How would she deal with foreign leaders?
