    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.

      Yes thank you. It didn’t read as natural - that’s the word.

      It’s disheartening that one can’t disagree on this topic without being eaten alive. I’m not saying elect Donald Trump and the couchfucker or anything ffs. Plus, I’m Canadian - so probably more left leaning than any US Dem - and as I’ve expressed, I really want the US to get their shit together.

      I’ve done Toastmasters. I’m a writer for a living. I know how to give feedback on speeches. I also acknowledged that not every speech is received the same way by every viewer.

      I’m not even saying she’s bad - I’m just saying she could be GREAT with more practice. I don’t understand why this is a shocking thing to say.
