Joe Biden's speech that closed the book on this year's virtual Democratic National Convention was the best one that the former vice president could have delivered.
Biden spoke clearly with a poise and conviction that have been absent in nearly two years of campaigning for the 2020 presidential election.
This was possible because Biden stuck to his strengths.
Biden's remarks were just as remarkable for the other things they did not contain.
Over and over again we were told about how Biden always calls, how he holds your hand, how that one time he said something that made you feel really good about yourself, how he remembers your name and buys you a cup of coffee for the train ride back, how he loves his children and grandchildren.
Biden's flashes of anger during his own remarks might briefly have conveyed a sense of urgency and vitality.
If Biden fails to unseat Trump in November, his political obituary will already have been written by his own party.
