Oh yea, comments on the State of the Union Address last night. I came in this morning to see what some of the greatest minds and sharpest pundits I know of think about last night and I get, ... crickets, ...
Come on, guys. I don't care what side of the aisle you prefer - you all watched it and nobody has a comment (ok, Red, I just saw yours)! Have you just all beaten on each other to the point of silence or what? (I doubt that, ...)
Alright, I will have a lash. I think it was a great speech.
Trump's list of accomplishments was impressive and hard to argue even for those who hate him.
Pelosi did a reasonable job of not being completely divisive and actually looked to follow Trump's lead for 'unity'; she stood and clapped, several times almost enthusiastically (though it looked like it might have caused a stroke at some point - or does she look like that all the time, ...
.
Trump was brilliant and finally looked Presidential (not always his practice in the past). Not Gettysburg, Red, but possibly his best yet (he may actually be listening to his people and staying on script!).
The women who wore white to show their solidarity (in hating Trump) even got into the moment and stood and clapped. He went off script here when he chided them for clapping and standing and then brilliantly thanked them. It highlighted their real reason for solidarity - all of them successful, their feelings against Trump were exposed and on full display. You were all laughing (or rolling your eyes at their mistake and embarrassment as they handed him a moment), I know it. I loved it.
Best use of the gallery and guests yet - even Reagan would have applauded it.
Bernie looked bitter and angry. Hillary was nowhere to be seen - Hurrah!
The closing comments were like a hollywood script (from the old days) - absolutely brilliant close.
Trumps speaking style is much less Trump-ish. I think he is finally growing into the job - it was perhaps his best moment yet. Talking heads were/are struggling to tear at it and really are only succeeding in showing their tremendous bias against Trump. I am giving him credit (and his speech writers!) - it was positive and upbeat and almost light hearted (if that is possible), it was a message that is needed; unity, it clearly defined his positions but gave room for others, it contained much of what the opposition desires, it stayed on point and positive throughout. All in all, I think it demonstrated tremendous growth and it was among his best yet. His detractors have little fodder to use and can only be negative for its own sake - it shows their cards as they continue trying to be detractors.
Tried to skip the domestic news talking heads and went to BBC America but they had a liberal democrat commentator as their 'expert', ...
It was an absolutely huge night for Trump. He gave his detractors nothing. People felt/feel good about it. The media trying to tell them they shouldn't is turning them off and stripping their fake pretense of being unbiased.
I think even Charles Krauthammer would have liked it and would have had to give Trump credit on this one.
AMHO Best all.
