Jealous conservatives amazed by ‘patriotic’ DNC: ‘These guys are turning into Republicans’
The Democratic National Convention has offered Americans a competing — and compelling — vision to the dark, dystopian fantasy served up last week by Donald Trump.
They’ve woven traditionally conservative themes, such as patriotism, military service, small-town values and the virtues of hard work, into an inclusive and socially liberal narrative lauding shared sacrifice and civic virtue.
And no one’s more mystified than Republicans, who’ve watched their rival scoop up all the political ground that Trump abandoned in his improbable and divisive presidential campaign.

Kinda remarkable to see a hoarse 4-star shouting American exceptionalism at a Democratic crowd drowning out “no more war” chants with “USA!”

Remember when Republicans brandished the Constitution as proudly as Khzir Khan? It was only six years ago.

For Republicans who are not social conservatives, I have to imagine last night and tonight at the DNC are having an impact on them.

Trump questions US military over reports of UFOs and doubts existence of extraterrestrial life in ABC interview

Asked about alien visitations, Trump was curt and dismissive.
"I think it’s probably -- I want them to think whatever they think. They do say, and I've seen, and I’ve read, and I’ve heard. And I did have one very brief meeting on it. But people are saying they’re seeing UFOs. Do I believe it? Not particular," Trump explained.
