I think this was not the most successful convention night, with a lot of fairly dull, flat speeches that felt largely disconnected from a rather newsworthy day in the country! Pence's speech was better than most of the others, and I think the setting and the live crowd helped, though it was a long speech. Again, though, journalists are not the target audience for conventions, so the correlation between my assessment and how much this might help Trump electorally should be presumed to be approximately zero.
