He said his plan was to reduce prescription drug prices. I thought that was a HUGE Democrat issue (or it was in the past). The fact that they didn't even applaud politely even though he backed something loads of them have said themselves should be done shows that they will oppose him no matter what, even if he backs something that their party endorsed.

Or, perhaps Democrats would rather have higher prescription drug prices than that Trump and his party be the ones to lower the prices.

They're not applauding because of what's being said, they're not applauding because of WHO'S saying it. Republicans would have done the same thing if Obama said this. Bipartisanship isn't really a thing anymore because constituents have become so loyal to their base due to how far each party has moved from the center. Critical thinking is a thing of the past when it comes to voting. Every senator knows how easily people vote with their feet. Plus they all know the cameras are on them so they want to perceive the voters that they don't respect him as much as the other side.

It's funny how leftists try to justify it by claiming "republicans would have done it too".

What happened to "when they go low, we go high"? I guess all that goes out the window when it comes time to applaud for Trump.

Get off your high horse...Republicans sat on their hands during Obama's SOTU even after Osama Bin Laden was brought to justice.

What plan may that be? Let us have specifics.

I'm not even a "leftist", I lean more to the right as a Republican. Don't try and deny it. Discussions start when we are all honest.

You mean specifics like "hope and change", "yes we can", and "stronger together"? That sure got liberals applauding.

You never did. I'm stating this so people don't use their preconceived notions toward my post.

I think that he came across as a lying braggart. I dont believe what he said about the FDA approving more drugs under HIS FDA than under any other Presidency. While it might be true that the FDA approved a lot of brand names going generic, that’s not the same as new breakthrough meds. The heyday of brand name development was the early-mid 90s, not now. Dems still could have clapped just a little though.

The democrats would not even applaud historically low unemployment numbers.
