Julian Zelizer : The party has changed during, or been changed by, the Trump years .

He says the Obamas showed they, too, are ready to get their hands dirty, but also that they haven't given up on a rosier vision of what things can be.

Obama 's role in the Democratic Party is in flux, but Obama showed his continued muscle this summer by helping nudge Biden out of the race in favor of Harris .

The Obamas may not be quite so prim as they were eight years ago , but they aren’t getting quite as far down in the muck as Trump , nor is the rest of their party.

The overall feeling of the convention has been euphoric— Democrats seem barely able to believe how much better their prospects look now than they did a month ago .
