Clinton driving the big bedrock theme against Trump: American Revolution was fought & Constitution written against Trumpian “I alone” rule.

there is joy here, entirely missing at the RNC

No matter your politics, a mother hugging her daughter as she becomes the first female nominee is a pretty powerful image.

Why this convention is better: It’s about loving America. GOP convention was about loving Trump. If you didn’t love Trump, it offered nada.

This is the Democrats attempting to fully consolidate the center and absorb a significant section of the GOP

Decent chance it works

How can it be that I am standing at my kitchen counter sobbing because of the messages being driven at the DNC? Where has the GOP gone?

This must surely be the largest gap there has ever been in the quality – staging, speakers, sophistication – of the major-party conventions.

We are again seeing a dramatic contrast in the quality of the conventions as political productions: Dems vastly better than Repubs. Again.

Chelsea Clinton giving the kind of details about life with her mother–what would you do if you ever met a triceratops? Reps didn’t do this.

— Cathleen Decker (@cathleendecker) July 29, 2016

The Trump kids didn’t have any FaceTime or Goodnight Moon or triceratops anecdotes. Chelsea sounds like she’s met her parent. #DemsInPhil

John Allen is delivering the best, most impactful non-prime time speech of both conventions

Khizr Khan was exceptionally moving, impressive: proud indignation & righteous wrath as he measured Trump against the memory of his hero son

— Philip Gourevitch (@PGourevitch) July 29, 2016

As soon as Khizr Khan finished his speech, “register to vote” spiked as a Google search. pic.twitter.com/0HZbBuCWwR

Powerful speech by Captain Khan. Most scathing indictment of Trump.

— Josh Kraushaar (@HotlineJosh) July 29, 2016

Wow. What a moment. American Muslims on stage at the Democratic convention. Parents of Humayun Khan who died in Iraq. Huge applause.
