2019 State of the Union speach

[Belair-o]

I am not a Trumpian, but did vote for Trump. I listened to the entire State of the Union speach, and thought it excellent! I thought the President's proposals, comments, and tone were all right on. Even the obligatory pointouts about guests in the gallery were good, and seemed sincere. Made me feel proud/glad to be an American. I wish the Dem's would put country first, but alas, I don't expect that to happen. Common sense and basic, traditional values seem to increasingly be rare these days.
Regards, Doug

It was a good speech but business will be as usual today and from now on as far as Trump's opposition, and for that matter for Trump. The "I wish he'd be more Presidential" crowd should have liked it.

I thought the speech was excellent too, but I wish he would quit bragging about his accomplishments so much. He can point them out without saying he did everything to make the changes himself. The dems were squirming, which made me smile. I especially liked his comment that "We'll NEVER be a socialist country". AOC and Bernie didn't look very happy. LOL

I thought the President's SOTU speech was well presented, written and full of relevant content. Nutty Nancy appeared to have some roast beef stuck in her mouth and the rest of the dems, were well... an embarrassment. I was amused at the KKK outfits worn by the dem women.

As for the talking heads, I tend to avoid listening to them. i can form my own opinion, and certainly don't need someone to tell me what I heard and saw. This said, while browsing the TV i saw where the fake-news outlets were being unbelievably short-sided to the point of criticizing the fact he didn't mention global warming... or transgender challenges. Really??

I continue to sincerely worry for our Republic.

55 I agree with you, Those newly elected dem women showed that they have no intentions of trying to push our nation forward in a positive direction for our fellow American's, they showed that they are there to disrupt and delay any positive for protecting our borders and country. WAKE UP AMERICA.

The thing you need to understand is that the actually BELIEVE that what they're doing and where THEY want the country to go is in a positive direction. Socialists actually BELIEVE that it is a better way to run a country because to them it's more "fair".

I thought the speech was excellent. I think Trump has accomplished a lot, and could do more with more Republican support. Teh resistance by Democrats disgusts me. I wasn't a fan of Trump, didn't vote for him in the primary, but I'm thankful Hillary didn't win. I wish Republican politicians would grow a pair and fight back.

I agree with you, except I'm glad he lists his accomplishments. Remember, some that are watching the SOTU either don't pay much attention to politics, or get their news on lefty news outlets where they dont give Trump credit for anything.

All presidents brag about their achievements in their SOTU speeches. After all, that's what the SOTU is about - what was done, what's to be done in the future.

But Trump does it almost anytime he makes longer than a 5 minute appearance. I agree with bitchin57, people that watch the fake news channels aren't going to hear about it unless they hear him say it.

I'm glad he points out all of the things that his administration has accomplished. It's the way he says it sometimes that rubs me wrong. When he said "I did what nobody else could do" or something like that it's a bit much. He said it that way 3-4 times and I cringed each time....I think it turns people off. I always thought Obama was arrogant.
