Great unifying speech. And he's not just going through the motions. It is obvious that he means it, and I suspect he is connecting with the audience beyond the Capitol. I really like his tone and when he says things like "My job is not to represent the world My job is to represent the United States of America", it drives the point home. Far better than I expected. 
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

Why isn't he like this all the time? That's my only question.

For a yr or more, been mystifying why Trump wouldn't do a few basic things to sound a little more unifying and normal--tonight he did them

Trump is knocking this out of the park IMO.

He's not going  to unify Republicans and Democrats with this speech, but he is doing wonders unifying Republicans.

Dayum! Preach it, brother.
How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

Impressive.  And some of the Demrats are even clapping now.

OK. That was just a damned good speech.  I have my disagreements, but he did very very well.
