Bill Clinton spoke in support of his wife's nomination at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. Clinton proved his point, which was that he thought that Hillary Clinton was caring, capable, and effective, by telling stories. He told stories about how they met, how she started a legal aid clinic, and how she got involved in politics.
According to Walter Fisher's theory of narrative communication, telling stories can actually help to create meaning and prove arguments. Ronald Reagan was, as we all know, past master of this method. Clinton's story-telling made for an effective speech.
