30% of the Democrats who watched the SOTU liked it. When 5% will swing the vote one way or the other, 30% is not something to sneeze at!
If you are of the mind that Pres Trump is to blame for everything wrong in politics, then last week was a very bad week for you. The evidence begins with Trump’s very good SOTU speech....he was alternately conciliatory toward Democrats and ruthless in contrasting policies.
Reckless in rhetoric and resistance, Dems make themselves vulnerable to charges that they support open borders, socialism and infanticide. It doesn’t help that a lasting image of the SOTU speech was the women-in-white brigade scowling throughout, rising enthusiastically only to celebrate the president’s recognition of them.
For more proof, consider the spectacles Dems created......in Virginia, where the governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general — all Democrats — spent the week ducking calls to resign. Hypocrisy ran wild, with the AG among the first to call for the governor to quit over a blackface scandal, then being forced to admit he was guilty of the same offense as a teenager.
Meanwhile, Lt Gov Fairfax was rocked by two sexual-assault allegations, with both women publicly identifying themselves and telling their stories. Given the left’s casual use of the words “racist” and “rapist” to describe Trump, leftists everywhere felt heat to sacrifice the three Virginia officials, lest they forfeit the right to weaponize those words again.
There's a problem with such purity.....a Republican, the House of Delegates' Speaker, would become governor. Confident that partisanship would prevail over principle, all three misbehaving Dems were refusing to go. The other complication: the lieutenant gov is black.......so how would it look if he had to resign, and two white men who wore blackface kept their jobs? Live by identity politics, die.....
