"What we heard in Cleveland last week wasn't particularly Republican. And it sure wasn't conservative." – Barack Obama.

Repub operative Rory Cooper:
"Great speech. And we made it easy for him."

Former Jeb Bush spokesman Tim Miller:
"Will a Trump apologist explain to me why an 18 yo watching the conventions would want to be a Republican? We're giving away a generation."

NYTimes columnist Ross Douthat:
"A speech to make Republican elites feel sickened (as they should be) by what their party has nominated."

National Review editor Rich Lowry:
"American exceptionalism and greatness, shining city on hill, founding documents, etc–they're trying to take all our stuff."

Managing Editor at US News Opinion Robert Schlesinger:
"Tonight Dems plucked the concept of "American exceptionalism" from the cold dead hands of the corpse of the Republican Party. "

…and on a related note………….

LGF Reader:
"The despair dripping from the tweets of Republicans right now tells you all you need to know about how good that speech was."

(former RedState blogger Erick Erickson tweeted the following)…………..

Erick Erickson:
"The GOP offered a vision of doom, despair, and division. Tonight the President I think divides us..offered optimism. I hate this year."

Erick Erickson:
Text just now from a senior House Republican who gave me permission to tweet this: “We were supposed to make that sort of speech."

Erick Erickson:
"I started the evening saying for the first time I thought Trump could win. Then Obama spoke. I am so angry at my own party right now." .

However, it was President Obama who stole the night with an impassioned endorsement of Hillary Clinton. […]

DJ my good man, Truer words have never been spoken..errr…written…Lol.

Good Lawd. What a speech! What a delivery! Simply Outstanding.

We knew Pres. Obama would have to take it to another level if he was going to match…or surpass his wife's speech the other night. Well he Did.Not..Fail. He took it to a whole 'nother level.

Seriously, I am SO proud of what Pres. Obama accomplished last night. I'm SO proud to be an American.

And the truth is, I was so hyped after watching him give that speech…and then seeing Hillary join him on stage at the conclusion….it took me a minute to settle down and go to sleep…lol

As you said DJ:
The photo-op of the first Black President of the United States standing arm-in-arm with the first woman who could become President of the United States was magical. […]
