Yes, like vapidly saying "maverick" about a hundred times and being full of no substance whatsoever so that you can't even tell people what newspaper you read for fear of saying the wrong pre-prepared statement. Yes, that's sincerely imparting your core convictions.
Her core convictions are "Yay! I'm a hockey mom who is way out of my league but will say anything to get elected and was brought onboard to be seen and rarely heard, just enough to energize the base". But at least now that she didn't commit verbal suicide on stage last night, she can go back to five minute stump speeches and never facing the press ever again.
