I thought about that during her speech -- of course she will need to do a great deal on the national scene over many years to fulfill that kind of legacy, but she has the potential.
She has a wonderful, direct speaking manner which I think will touch millions. She has already proved she is not intimidated by vicious libs all over the MSM and will talk right past them, directly to the American people, which was a great Reagan trait.
Obviously she has her own unique style and persona, but for embodying the "regular person from the heartland who has the capacity for greatness" she could well end up in the Reagan-Truman-Lincoln pantheon. Of course, to rank there in history she will have to become President, since no one thinks that way about any VP, ever. [well maybe we should think of Al Gore in that light......... JUST KIDDING, SARCASM ALERT!!!]
