My guess is any audience of a Dr. Oz show would not be expecting him to act firey or overly bold and confrontational. Oz would be on his most professional, most
‘sensitive’ Dr. Welby type behavior. Gentle, non-judgemental and fatherly.
You don’t win most elections by acting gentle, non-judgemental and fatherly. Not all the time, anyway.
Yes, Oz is not a seasoned politician. But then Trump was not either when he ran in 2016. I still remember low energy Jeb.
