I’ll second everything you said. She is sounding more confident and undeflected in interviews these days- she stays on target well and makes strong, often quaint points.
She gets a little screechy when she does the crowd thing at times. That will smooth with practice.
She has a tremendous amount of energy and positively exudes enthusiasm for conservativism.
No stale Ivy league, big-word-talking-over-people’s-heads to impress the elite. She connects with average, working people and that is what will get her elected.
Her finest trait, I think you nailed it. It's a remarkable quality.
