The Republican National Convention defied expectations. The line-up of speakers was inspiring, the production quality was excellent, and it was much more dynamic than the Democratic National Convention. It was apparently also a hit with donors, who gave $76 million to the Trump campaign throughout the week.

The third night of the Republican National Convention featured a wide variety of speakers, but one speech that truly stood out came from former NFL player and self-described 'lifelong Democrat' Jack Brewer. Brewer addressed some of the common lies told about President Trump, and even excoriated the media for pushing misinformation.

We didn't cover the first night of the Republican National Convention 'live' last night because our expectations were so low. Wow, was I surprised at how good it was.

Other than some of the key speeches, I skipped most of the live coverage of the Democrat National Convention. When I tried to watch, it was unbearable, like watching a never-ending public service announcement from the Ad Council. So I missed the live coverage of "Michael from Rhode Island" presented by the DNC as a "longstanding Republican for a long time" who is voting for Biden.

Obama's 2020 DNC speech was almost the opposite of the 2004 DNC speech that propelled him onto the national stage. If you watched this week, you heard very little about hope and the things that bring Americans together. Instead, this was a dark speech that was heavier on Obama's dislike of Trump than why you should vote for Joe Biden. MSNBC's Rachel Maddow loved the speech, naturally, but it also scared her.
