How can you not feel the heartbreak of the Gold Star families? A powerful reminder of the chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal, as well as President Biden's incorrect assertion during the debate that no service members died overseas on his watch. Most important, a powerful reminder of the price of freedom. - Kristen Soltis Anderson
Usha Vance, talking about her husband, J.D. Vance, and the veterans and families of soldiers killed or taken captive, they were the most effective and affecting speakers. Personal stories delivered with deep emotions, whether love or loss, break through the noise. - Charles M. Blow
The Gold Star families. The core Republican argument is that Biden has left regular Americans behind. These parents told that story with raw emotion. It was a moment when passion met the theme. - David Brooks
J.D. Vance brought what Team Trump needed: a fresh face who can deliver even tough hits smoothly, with a charming smile and a sprinkling of humor. The political parts of his speech were nothing special. But the biographical bits were kinda glorious. - Michelle Cottle
