The RNC dug up this little gem and is circulating it in an email blast under the subject line, 'SOTU: Preview.' I opened the email, assuming it would include some insights into how the president plans to frame the current immigration debate, or tout the significant economic progress that's occurred on his watch, in next week's major national address. But the message turned out to be a cheeky bait-and-switch. Rather than highlighting a passage from President Trump's upcoming speech, it quoted a portion of a previous State of the Union Address. Watch in wonder as Bill Clinton tackles the topic of illegal immigration in 1995, earning a bipartisan standing ovation. In light of the way the Democratic Party talks about the issue these days, this is even more startling than the throwback clip of Obama we showcased a few weeks ago:
