Social media goes wild over Trump and Pence's would-be smooch

But with typical Trumpian disregard for teleprompters, the billionaire went in for a kiss instead, attempting to plant a wet one on Pence's forehead.

The GOP nominee didn't quite stick the landing, his puckered lips meeting air when Pence pulled back.

Twitter -- of course -- went wild with the endlessly GIF-able moment:
