Conservatives Stunned by How Much They Liked Obama’s DNC Speech
I wouldn’t read too much into this since it’s mostly the #neverTrump people they are getting this from.
President Barack Obama’s marquee Wednesday night speech at the Democratic National Convention was held up even by some conservatives as the kind of address the country deserves in the current political moment.
Pundits who fundamentally disagree with the majority of Obama’s policies expressed grudging admiration for an optimistic speech that praised America’s inclusive democracy. It provided a stark contrast to the ominous address about the threats facing the United States that Donald Trump gave at last week’s Republican convention in Cleveland.
Some suggested that Obama’s speech, which quoted the Declaration of Independence and framed the U.S. as a “light of freedom, dignity and human rights,” did a better job at expressing conservative values than Trump’s did.
