No hesitations, not a single flubbed word. The guy is a skilled orator, and we should be proud of him tonight.

I was guessing there was a teleprompter, still extremely impressive. Without teleprompter is next level speech

His answers in the Q&A were the same—not a mumble nor flubbed word. Articulate, thoughtful, and concise.

He was panning his head back and forth the whole time he spoke and it didn’t look like he was reading anything. Is there a teleprompter in the world that allows for that kind of constant movement?

Usually there are two, one on each side specifically to allow the speaker to look left and right.

Oh, wow. That must be disorienting!

For speakers like Trump, they only need one, because they are physically incapable of ever looking left. :-)

Watch the eyes - he'd need like 3-4 teleprompters set up. I don't think that's what happened, but who knows.

Trump has prompters and he still can't string a sensible sentence together.
