37. She was on for several parts of the speech

I don't think it's much of a concern. Pretty much every politician now sounds like they're doing speeches all the time and no matter who is speaking, there are enough cliches that they sound like a politician giving a speech... "we (will) have the best ___ in the world" (education, healthcare, military, entrepeneurs, workers, energy technology, etc.) I try to listen for what is different and what is specific enough that they will pay a price if they don't follow through, or for some explanation that they really understand the cause of a problem and so the steps to fix it make sense. That wasn't really the purpose of this speech, but I would like to see get wonky like that.
