Why is it so hard for people to just get coached to speak a speech as if they're using a comfortable normal cadence. So many of these speeches would be so much better if they just did that.

I think the venue seems to trigger people to shout...

You do have equal pay for equal work.  Just go work those construction jobs and manual labor.  Hell, even the women in my dept get paid more than the men. 

Strawmen and anecdotal evidence FTW!

Seriously, women choose different fields than men. And where they do choose the same fields, they are paid the same or more.  If women were paid less, why not hire all women?  Wage gap is nonsense.

There are studies that show that you are simply wrong on facts.

Franken always was a terrible comedian. Probably why he became a politician.

'Much'.  The wage gap is smaller than is commonly advertised.  Its more like 90 cents to the dollar, but  it still exists.

The GOP trots out the parents of people lost in combat to rail on Hillary and the Dems trot out a disabled person to rail on Trump.

Whatever makes you feel better about it.  I think both acts are cheap and classless.
