Talking to some applicants who were having a hard time. She was quite autocratic and very superior in dealing with them.. I would us the word dismissive.

It's an unnatural string of talking points.
That said, she's delivering it as well as anyone could.
It's just not very believable.

there's clearly no wind in the scene or affecting anyone else's hair, but the guest's hair somehow acts as if there's a fan on her.

"oh that. my mother had blowy hair."

By far, the best speaker at this convention. I know, it's a low bar. I also know that she is completely misrepresenting him, but she is doing a good job and sounds sincere. Trump was smart to have her introduce him. If I had to predict anything, I'd predict that she ends up looking a lot more presidential than him.

And right now I am playing gin. And getting crushed.

I am a great public speaker...no false modesty. My public speaking allowed me to retire this month in my late 40s.

Ivanka is better than me. Being as beautiful as she is (empirically) plus she learned to speak slowly...formidable.

Even I found myself astonished.

NPR had a few reporters saying she was going to be transformative and influential ahead of time.

And she was.

It could be transcribed off of any of the 2 or 3 slightly different ones DRUMPF has rambled off a hundred times. All a series of assertions, attacks, and extravagant claims endlessly repeated.
