Well done, @realDonaldTrump. You made Democrats a party of sunny patriotism and values.
You sure @billclinton didn't ask you to run?

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.

Take about five paragraphs out of that Obama speech and it could have been a Reagan speech. Trust me. I know.

if repubs had championed their principles with specifics rather than embrace autocracy - they wouldn't have yielded this turf to dems.

For Republicans who are not social conservatives, I have to imagine last night and tonight at the DNC are having an impact on them.

So most of conservative media and the GOP spent the week rooting for Russia, and now the Democrats get to rally around the flag.
Dreadful.

Snark aside: GOP needs to understand what is happening to them tonight…

Do you know how old I am? Old enough to remember when speeches like this would've been given at GOP convention… Not Dem one. Brutal.

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 Democratic convention has been an unmitigated disaster for the GOP. Very well produced. Unifying. Patriotic. Bravo.#DNCinPHL

I am sure hearing a lot more about God and faith at the DNC than the RNC.

Still stunned. Feel like I'm in the twilight zone. Obama just defended America & conservative values from attacks by the Republican nominee.

Republicans could have stopped all this.

Now an immigrant medal of honor winner? If the goal is to reach independents and conservatives uneasy w/ Trump, well done Democrats
