I also noticed that when President Trump mentioned that unemployment was at the lowest level ever in the history of the country, the ones in the white suits mostly just sat there. Later, when the President mentioned that unemployment for women was the lowest ever, the ones in the white suits collectively stood up, clapped and cheered. Identity politics in action.

I really enjoyed Mr. Trump's SOTU speech. I particularly enjoyed the sour look on Pelosi's face a couple of times when she thought no one was looking. And the white outfits were so cute! Really grown women!

Did anybody else notice that the Democrats seem to be looking around for someone to give them approval to clap or stand?

"When broken down by party, almost all Republicans, 97 percent, said they approved of Trump’s speech, and 82 percent of independents said the same. Only 30 percent of Democrats, however, say they approved. "

Of course. Anybody following events understands that.

The president can't help unite the country against a recalcitrant left. They will never back his agenda lest to provide political advantage to him.

I was watching a snippet of the "View" after the Covington disaster as Whoopy Goldberg sensibly commented that the left should not jump to conclusion without supporting evidence.

To which the rabid Behar shot back: "It is because we want Trump out of the WH" to thunderous approval by the audience.

You can't do anything reasonable with this mob.

You can’t unite a country where half the people just want to take from the other half. There is no compromise possible

Even the MSN could not lie enough to sway those huge numbers, the lying will now have to be done by the correspondents and anchors, and they have already started. I loved watching Nancy "Chewing Her Cud". Look it up, the definition is perfect. Someone on the Right now needs to learn how to market the truth about the State of the Union and help more Lefties slide over to reality. Adam Shitft needs to be put down, he's really starting to come out as the pathetic political hack that he is. The politicians on the edge will have to start coming around too, or suffer the consequences of possibly not getting reelected. I ask my Lib/Dem friends, the few I have left, if they really agree with the Shitft, Pelosi, and Schumer hacks. Many of them are stating to say no. It gives me a little more faith in humanity again.

The die hard dems will remain die hard idiots. I am seeing a lot of those who are on the fence politically leaning very right to the side of Trump. You can only fool some of the people some of the time and the liberals are showing too many of their real cards.

Two things I noticed: Senator Sinema, freshman from Arizona, wore a hot pink outfit, getting disapproving looks from her white-clad sisteren, and worse yet, she joined Republicans in jumping up and applauding over the President's remarks on the strong national economy; second, Pelosi, the day after threw shade on the idea of "Medicare for all," saying it was ridiculous and too expensive, contradicting every wannabe Democrat presidential candidate announced so far. Pelosi appears to finally be listening to people telling her that Americans are tired of the "resist" movement and and want to see something positive happen, and today said she is willing to accept whatever border deal the joint committee comes up with.

The Speaker would like a legacy of accomplishment, even if it means enraging the extremists in the party. I think she knows that any investigations or attempts at impeaching the President will be a waste of time, but she's willing to let the troublemakers play in their sandboxes while she gets busy working on things that can be bipartisan, like infrastructure spending.

Going too far in appeasing the extremists in the party jeopardizes the hard won seats captured in districts that had voted for Trump, so I suspect Pelosi wants to be sure the party retains those seats in 2020. Since nearly all of those representatives are on record as moderates, she has to give them room to claim some success.

Conclusion: the Speaker has motivation to cooperate just enough with the President to be seen as effective. I even have a suspicion that her "victory" over the shutdown might have been purposely engineered by her and the President, to give her the political muscle to keep the radicals at bay.

That was great news...and 24% against is about right considering 8% political correct post modern cultural marxist, 1% or so of the global great unwashed ruleless pedophiles and the rest?...those they have made into their own image...think AOC? etc...

He can't recite socialist platitudes, one after another for an hour, then proclaim that the US will never be a socialist country.
