Democrats would not applaud or stand when Trump spoke of government ignorance of the criminals of Chicago, Baltimore, and Detroit. They would not applaud when he spoke of protecting American citizens by securing our borders.

They would not applaud when he spoke about the companies who have promised to invest billions in U.S. manufacturing which will provide thousands of new jobs. They do not want the economy unleashed; it would expose the dismal failure of the eight-year Obama administration.

Some are made to look like obstructionists for ulterior purposes by the left. Others really ARE obstructionist.

There are tens of thousands who would disagree with you about Obama. However, I'll give you that, looking back, he may turn out to be a 'good' president in the views of some of the population. We know what he did and did not do.

Whereas Trump may just turn out to be a GREAT president. We have yet to see.

TRUMP RATINGS FAIL
2017 Trump address to Congress: 43 million
2009 Obama address to Congress: 52.4 million


LOL, the reality TV star gets low TV ratings as President, badly beaten by the guy with the forged birth certificate :-)

Not that I really give a crap, but what is the source of these numbers? Does it consider internet viewership? Technology is moving fast. Nearly half the people I know do not have cable or satellite (or an antenna). That wasn't so much the case in 2009.

The speech seemed pretty popular at work today, which is where / when I listened to it.

Hey, even Breitbart was complaining about it: Two Ex-Disney Workers Displaced by H1B Foreigners Speak
Except you are basing your argument on your idea(opinion) of what the merit based system here would look like without any evidence at all...

Quite a few people were impressed. Even a Trump hater at work thought the speech was good.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/speech-vi...-politics.html

I thought it was Trump at his finest. He spoke with a measure of civility, quiet dignity, and professionalism, but most important of all, sincerity. There wasn't any of that sense of being fake compared to prior presidents. Trump spoke from the heart and it really showed.
