This is the place to discuss the speech and immediate aftermath. I will post a separate Official thread for all of the 183 Dem rebuttals.... PLEASE USE these threads and do not create new ones.. I will unlock 10minutes ahead of the scheduled events..
Mods: Please bump and delete the bump threads. Thanks.
I NOW UNDERSTAND WHY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY STINKS and is doomed to eventual collapse (if it isn't there already). On just those things I COULD SEE when the camera was on them:
1). The State Of The Union is now greater for all Americans. Nope. The Dems not happy at all about that.
2). Trump urges we come together, unity for both parties. Nah. Democrats not the least interested in a functioning government.
3). The nation is getting stronger! Democrat's eyes were just glazing over!
4). Millions of new jobs have been created! Democrats looked like a field of wax figures.
5). Wages are rising! Better paying jobs! No Democrat could care less. Their pay is good.
6). Black unemployment lower than ever!
Not even the Dem Black Caucus turned a smile or a clap. They're fat bellies have eaten well.
7). Biggest tax cuts in history! Thousands back in the pockets for Middle Class Families! Practically puts the Dems to sleep.
8). ACA Individual Mandate eliminated! Only comatose stares from the Left.
9). Regulations cut make businesses more competitive abroad! Not a squeak from the Dems.
10). Just Apple alone putting 250 Billion more invested in USA, 20,000 new hires planned. Just a Democratic mass-yawn.
11). Religious rights and freedoms strengthened. I saw Nancy filing her nails.
12). Many new judge hires will uphold our Constitution as meant. Not a care on the Democratic side.
13). Vets now have more choices in healthcare! Many bad VA people fired. Only a blank gaze from the Left.
14). Eliminating many burdensome regulations on economy and elsewhere! Not a care from the Democrats.
15). Took away burdens on coal industry! Not a clap at all from the Left.
16). Helping Detroit and our auto industry spring back to life! All the Dems were slouched low in their seats.
17). Vastly more medical devices approved! Of no concern if you're a democrat.
18). Making trade agreements fair and reciprocal! All Dem hands were in their pockets.
19). Removing barriers to infrastructure construction. Not any interest to the Left.
20). Lifting people from welfare to work/better programs! Nope, not even that got a rise out of the Democrats.
21). Combating MS-13. I didn't see a single hand in approval from the Left.
22). Curbing gang violence. Still, Democrats just sat there mute.
23). Repairing immigration with a good plan for both the nation AND those wishing to enter! Na Ah---- grim silence from the Left.
24). Getting the wall built to end the cycle of cost, crime and drugs upon our society. NADA. Dems don't go there.
25). Putting America First!
THIS WAS MOST TELLING: I didn't see one democrat applaud at that.
26). Keeping Gitmo open and no more releasing terrorists! Nope. Can't get a Democrat interested.
27).
NO LONGER TELLING OUR ENEMIES OUR PLANS! What would my WWII Vet father say to seeing his Democrats all sit there stone quiet?
28). Embassy to Jerusalem/official capital. I must have blinked when the Democrats applauded.
29). Keeping our foreign aid just to our friends! You could have heard a pin drop on the Democratic side.
30). Review the Iran Deal. Just scowls from the Left.
31). Tough new sanctions on Cuba and Venezuela. You were thinking maybe the Democrats were for that?
32). Whole room exploded in "USA! USA! USA! No patriotism or national pride at all from the Democratic side.
33). The PEOPLE are what makes America great and are making America great again! The Democrats just walked out.
If the Democrats are not for any of these things, just WHY ARE THEY EVEN THERE? And why the hell would anyone ever want to vote for them? Honestly. Obviously, a question that will be brought home to them next November.
