Think the best speech from a simultaneous "rev up the base and appeal to swingy voter" was Walz. I thought the two Republicans you mentioned were also good for the indies watching, as was Bill. Yes, he's not the absolute oratical force he was just 10 years ago, but he still knows how to speak to middle America and paint things in a larger context that flows and is easy to understand.

The Obamas were great at speaking to the base, as was Hilary and Whitmer.

Twitter loved AOC's Monday performance but honestly I didn't love her speech. Her upper register can get a little screechy, the rhetoric too pseudo-socialist warrior, and delivery too scripted and rehearsed for my tastes.
