Thought: The energy of the Harris speech last night was that of Obama/2008. The message was closer to Reagan/1980.

It is now our turn to do what generations before us have done, guided by optimism and faith, to fight for this country we love, to fight for the ideals we cherish and to uphold the awesome responsibility that comes with the greatest privilege on Earth: the privilege and pride of being an American. So let’s get out there, let’s fight for it. Let’s get out there, let’s vote for it, and together, let us write the next great chapter in the most extraordinary story ever told.

@patrickrhone This seems right to me. Several NeverTrump types have pointed out how well her message resonated with the messaging of Romney/Ryan 2012, as well. The implementation would be quite different, but the messaging sounded very familiar.

@KyleEssary Ooh, even better historical comparison. Thanks!

I wonder if the goal was a dog whistle to those old style Republicans. If so, this former old style, Republican heard it loud and clear.
