I actually watched the speech, and seeing her give it, I found her to be very charismatic and winning. Yes, she spouted party lies, but she did it well. As for her opening, I saw it as her chance to introduce the voters to herself, so she could redefine the narrative that the media had already laid out. I think that was extremely smart of her. It gave people the chance to connect to her as a human being and a mother.

Now we wait and see how it played to the independents. Because honestly, she could have done a striptease and then given the speech through her bare ass, and that crowd would have screamed for more.
