++Nate Silver wondered how hard he would go after Trump. Well,the answer was pretty hard-suggesting he was a fascist. And putting him down in a high-handed fashion, "We don't want to be ruled."
++There was some disagreements about whether Obama should have spent more time on those people anxious about the future. I thought he was right to defend his record and point out how well the country was doing compared to the American nightmare in Trump's speech.
++The unique position of Obama is that he is vastly more popular than either candidate so his magnetism may help Hillary. This is not a Gore running away from Clinton campaign. He also knows Trump would threaten his legacy but he made it clear the country's future.
++Obama actually chided democrats for failing to take other elections seriously.
++I was not so reticent as 538 about Obama doing his full-throated defense of America. He know he overdoes American exceptionalism but as Andrew Sullivan wrote tonight is the epitome of American exceptionalism.
