"Up to the very moment Biden took the stage, the commentariat was wondering: How will he come across? Will he trip on the way to the lectern, freeze while on camera, or reveal some other ‘doddering’ weakness? And, how can he make anyone care about what he’s done?
You didn’t hear any of that once the speech was over."
