5. No, there were two professional speechwriters working on this.

I believe one of them worked for Ronald Reagan. They were both veteran speechwriters. I forget their names.

She claimed that she wrote it herself, with a "little help" from them. However, the truth is that they likely wrote every word, she likely read over it, made some minor suggestions, they edited it accordingly, and then pushed her out the door with it. Speeches like this--along with speeches for things like State of the Union Addresses--are pretty much 100% professionally written, usually by more than one speechwriter.
