Wife of Democratic frontrunner more than survives her first late-night appearance on Comedy Central's “Report.”

She delivered numerous on-message lines -- talked about the honor of running, and said things like “I am a firm supporter of Barack Obama.”

At the close of the segment she said, “I am hopeful that this is going to be over before the convention... This has been a good fight. It has prepared whoever comes out of this nomination to take on the Republican.”

Then she patted the actor playing Ben Franklin on the arm as she left the stage. Watch video above.
