In the 30 minute pre-speech c span's coverage was an open mike and a cameras panning the crowd. GOP were all laughing and joking and the rats were fiddling with their phones. Ryan was really sucking up to Pence, hope he gets on board the Trump train wholeheartedly. I know the Papa John's reference was a joke but Papa John's founder, John Schnatter is a solid conservative and one hell of a savvy businessman. I've had better pizzas but I've had a lot worse too.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Pieces of garbage. That's why there is no compromising with them - their ideology trumps (no pun intended) EVERYTHING with them. Nothing else matters. They would rather show disrespect towards a fallen hero than show the slightest bit of agreement with the President. Fear God and Dread Nought Admiral of the Fleet Sir Jacky Fisher | |||

So I guess Steve Bashear is the closest thing the D's could come up with to speak to the "regular people" in fly-over country? So this is their attempt to finally speak to the working Americans who went over to Trump.... OK.... | |||

^^^^^^^^ She wasn't there. The other justices were probably like, "Ruth honey.....just stay home on this one. You're embarrassing the CRAP outta us with your nodding off!"

Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

When even CNN and MSDNC are admitting that Trump made a good speech and had a good night, you know he knocked it outta the park. | |||

Great speech, especially compared to the past 8 years of being talked down to and told "this is not who we are as Americans." The last shitheel in chief was so puffed up he reminded me of a tick on a dogs ass. Tonight's speech was refreshing. | |||

Did the Rep. disrespect Obama in his State of the Union address like the Dem. did tonight to Trump? I could never watch Obama, so I don't know.

It's always been that way, as long as I can remember. Dem. President speaks, Rep. congressmen and senators sit. Rep. President speaks, the Dems sit. There are few rare cases when some on the opposite side stood up, and tonight was no exception, but in general, it has always been that way.This message has been edited.

Yep. The Congress will be a quagmire as far as big spending cuts are concerned. They are already backpedaling on closing down Obamacare, and the tax cuts that Trump proposed. Nobody wants to stick their neck out, except Trump. The SCOTUS pick should be a layup, however. | |||

A powerful speech, a "Netanyahu-class" delivery. Would have liked to see the Dem faces when he announced VOICE- "Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement" program. I bet Zippy palmed his face. He is dismantling Barry's debacles every day. | |||

Ben Stein’s Diary - Trump’s Blast Off Let’s not kid ourselves. That was a super speech. Not flowery, except that in parts it was eloquent without being flowery. Not poetry, except that it was poetry. It was a blast from the heart of the heart of America. It was as if Mr. Trump did not even have to use words. His sincerity and power in touching what Americans want to hear was beyond prose. The days of being pushed around — especially by the worst elements in our own country — are over. We’re proud to be Americans. We have nothing to be ashamed of, so we’re going to stop being ashamed. The world is a dangerous place, so we’re going to rearm. There are people out there who want to hurt us badly. It’s Trump’s priority to keep them far away. The streets of America have roaming gangs of savage beasts. Trump will save the urban Americans by locking up the savage beasts. The cops are our saviors here on earth. So we’re not going to lambaste them and shame them with nonsense about “systemic racism.” We’re behind them. Mr. Trump, with us standing with the men and women in blue, has got their backs. He’s not going to stab them in the back the way recent high officials have done: he’s going to protect their back and their front. There’s a Civil War going on in the violent urban parts of America. Mr. Trump is going to win that war for the peaceable families by war to the knife against the gangs and the gangsters. The military wife is the backbone of America. She will never be forgotten. She will always be cheered and loved. The President will not mock her for believing in God. He BELIEVES right along with her as all America weeps for her loss. Pride and conviction that America is the greatest place on earth and in history. The sure and certain hope and belief that whatever problems we have, we can fix them. In response to the back of the hand from the black “leaders,” an unwavering hand of friendship to the blacks. And a plan to bring them into the middle class with the only ladder that works — education by choice, not by union diktat. Yes, there were parts that were wrong. Mr. Trump’s stand on trade is dead wrong. We need free trade. His stance on immigration from this hemisphere is wrong. We need those workers desperately. But his urgent promise not to let the migrants come here for a drugging and raping holiday is absolutely right. No apologies. No quavering before the snobs of McLean and Georgetown. Light up America first and then that light lights up the whole world. Light up the world with the prayers and uplifted, pained countenance of a Navy widow, and soon the world glows with hope. I have been a speechwriter since I was 18. First for Senator Joe Tydings (D-Md.) and then for Mr. Nixon and Mr. Ford and for decades for myself. I listen to all speeches carefully and with an ear to their music. Sometimes, as with Jimmy Carter, there was a dull thud. Recently, there was the wild self-mockery of Mr. Obama talking to whites like a Cambridge, Mass. Don, and a few hours later to black people in Philadelphia as if he were raised with hands bleeding from picking cotton in the Mississippi Delta. Tonight’s was an early Mozart symphony —far better than we could have expected, hitting every right note, and with the promise of still greater to come. This man is a fast learner. And as my pal, John Coyne, an ace speechwriter himself, said to me recently, “His heart is in the right place.” He’s off and running. https://spectator.org/a-super-speech/ NRA Life Member - "Fear God and Dreadnaught" | |||

Kinda. What has always happened is when talking policies, each side either stands or sits based on their political position. What has NOT happened is that when a regular American or as in this case the widow of an American hero is introduced BOTH sides ALWAYS stood and applauded. The dems sitting on their hands in this case was unprecedented, rude and a perfect illustration of the democrat party of 2017. “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||
