    With respect I tend to disagree. I and many others felt she delivered one of the best speeches of the evening, both on substance and in delivery. She delivered fire and excitement, was one of the few speakers who actually kept their cadence on pace; her speech had a clear beginning, middle, and end, and she utilized body language effectively. For her sort of debut in the national spotlight, she knocked it out of the park.

      You mean her practiced body language? It was pretty unnatural and sometimes her timing was off which especially gave it away as a performative act.

        Sure? I mean this isn’t Juilliard. I’m not expecting perfection, but relative to historical baseline for convention speeches it was fantastic.
