Norman Ornstein Retweeted NPR

Certainly nothing as detailed, fact-filled, inspirational and forward-looking as building a wall, making Mexico pay

Ornstein is married to Judith L. Harris, a litigation attorney specializing in regulatory matters. He is a long-time friend of U.S. Senator and left-leaning comedian Al Franken.[9] A fictional version of Ornstein appears in Franken's political spoof novel Why Not Me? as the campaign manager for Franken's improbable presidential run

Thus, I would believe that his tweet is a satirical one. It would be more accurately interpreted as "wow, look at all that good stuff at the DNC with the speeches, details, and great speakers and inspiration. At the RNC we had just a crappy wall and trying to make another country pay for it."
